Summary:
The remote host is missing an update to elog announced via advisory DSA 967-1. Several security problems have been found in elog, an electonic logbook to manage notes. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project identifies the following problems: CVE-2005-4439 GroundZero Security discovered that elog insufficiently checks the size of a buffer used for processing URL parameters, which might lead to the execution of arbitrary code. CVE-2006-0347 It was discovered that elog contains a directory traveral vulnerability in the processing of ../ sequences in URLs, which might lead to information disclosure. CVE-2006-0348 The code to write the log file contained a format string vulnerability, which might lead to the execution of arbitrary code. CVE-2006-0597 Overly long revision attributes might trigger a crash due to a buffer overflow. CVE-2006-0598 The code to write the log file does not enforce bounds checks properly, which might lead to the execution of arbitrary code. CVE-2006-0599 elog emitted different errors messages for invalid passwords and invalid users, which allows an attacker to probe for valid user names. CVE-2006-0600 An attacker could be driven into infinite redirection with a crafted fail request, which has denial of service potential. The old stable distribution (woody) does not contain elog Linux Distribution Packages.

Vulnerability management is the process in which vulnerabilities in IT are identified and the risks of these vulnerabilities are evaluated. This evaluation leads to correcting the vulnerabilities and removing the risk or a formal risk acceptance by the management of an organization. The term vulnerability management is often confused with vulnerability scanning. Despite the fact both are related, there is an important difference between the two. Vulnerability scanning consists of using a computer program to identify vulnerabilities in networks, computer infrastructure or applications. Vulnerability management is the process surrounding vulnerability scanning, also taking into account other aspects such as risk acceptance, remediation etc. Source: "Implementing a Vulnerability Management Process".
