<background>
<p>
Webmin is a web-based interface for Unix-like systems. Usermin is
a simplified version of Webmin designed for use by normal users rather
than system administrators.
</p>
</background>
<description>
<p>
Jack Louis discovered that the Webmin and Usermin "miniserv.pl"
web server component is vulnerable to a Perl format string
vulnerability. Login with the supplied username is logged via the Perl
"syslog" facility in an unsafe manner.
</p>
</description>
<impact type="high">
<p>
A remote attacker can trigger this vulnerability via a specially
crafted username containing format string data. This can be exploited
to consume a large amount of CPU and memory resources on a vulnerable
system, and possibly to execute arbitrary code of the attacker's choice
with the permissions of the user running Webmin.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
There is no known workaround at this time.
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>
All Webmin users should upgrade to the latest version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-admin/webmin-1.250"</code>
<p>
All Usermin users should upgrade to the latest version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-admin/usermin-1.180"</code>
