Description:
OS Reviews has reported a vulnerability in AWStats, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.
Input passed to the "migrate" parameter isn't properly sanitised before being used in an "open()" call. This can be exploited to inject and execute arbitrary shell commands via the "|" pipe character.
Successful exploitation requires that "AllowToUpdateStatsFromBrowser" is enabled (not default setting).
The vulnerability has been reported in versions 6.5 and 6.4. Prior versions may also be affected.
Solution:
The vulnerability has been fixed in version 6.6.
Provided and/or discovered by:
OS Reviews
