Security fixes for MDPro The MAXdev team has been notified of a security issue by http://www.jpcert.or.jp [1] the problem was found to be due to poor performance of the pnVarCleanFromInput function at removing potentially harmful input that may result in XSS injection attacks Another small bug was found with the AntiCracker which may have made it partially ineffective. We still recommend having the AntiCracker enabled, as it would have blocked against the majority of these attacks prior to the patch The patch is available from HERE [2] this affects all versions of MDPro released up until this point. For MDLite RC testers, MDLite is still marginally affected, the changes to MDPro 1.0.76 have already been backported in CVS and will be included with the next release Many thanks go to Masaki Kubo from JPCERT/CC for their assistance in bringing this issue to our attention and testing the patch prior to release We strongly recommend all users apply this patch to their sites ASAP, all MDPro 1.0.76 packages have been updated to include this fix as from the 18-Sep-06 09:00 GMT PeteBest |
