    Package : cacti
    Vulnerability : missing input sanitising
    Problem type : remote
    Debian-specific: no
    Debian Bug : 578909

    It was discovered that Cacti, a frontend to rrdtool for monitoring
    systems and services missed input sanitising, making an SQL injection
    attack possible.

    For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in
    version 0.8.7b-2.1+lenny2.

    For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem will be fixed soon.

    We recommend that you upgrade your cacti package.

    Upgrade instructions
    - --------------------

    wget url
    will fetch the file for you
    dpkg -i file.deb
    will install the referenced file.

    If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for
    sources.list as given below:

    apt-get update
    will update the internal database
    apt-get upgrade
    will install corrected packages

    You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the
    footer to the proper configuration.

    its next update.
