Security Problem in Interchange
|
|
Dear Interchange community ! All versions of Interchange (4.8.x, 5.0.x, 5.1.x) contain a security hole which allows an attacker to expose arbitrary variable contents by using an URL like http://shop.example.com/cgi-bin/store/__SQLUSER__. All Interchange applications using the standard "missing" special page from the demo catalog or a similar one are vulnerable to this attack. The attacker may learn the SQL access information for your Interchange application and use this information to read and manipulate sensitive data. Attached are patches for the following Interchange versions: 4.8.x: Page-4.8.diff 5.0.x: Page-5.0.diff 5.1.x/CVS: Page-5.1.diff To apply the patch for your Interchange version, enter the directory Vend resp. lib/Vend below your Interchange installation directory and run the following command: patch -p3 < /path/to/Page.diff Please replace the file name of the patch file with the appropriate location. Tarballs and Debian packages for Interchange 4.8.8 and Interchange 5.0.1 will be released shortly.
