    Vulnerability : several
    Problem type : remote
    Debian-specific: no
    Debian bug : none
    CVE IDs : CVE-2011-2703 CVE-2011-2704

    Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in mapserver, a CGI-based
    web framework to publish spatial data and interactive mapping applications.
    The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems:

    CVE-2011-2703

    Several instances of insufficient escaping of user input, leading to
    SQL injection attacks via OGC filter encoding (in WMS, WFS, and SOS
    filters).

    CVE-2011-2704

    Missing length checks in the processing of OGC filter encoding that can
    lead to stack-based buffer overflows and the execution of arbitrary code.


    For the oldstable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in
    version 5.0.3-3+lenny7.

    For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in
    version 5.6.5-2+squeeze2.

    For the testing (squeeze) and unstable (sid) distributions, this problem
    will be fixed soon.


    We recommend that you upgrade your mapserver packages.
