Tracker summary

CVE-2005-2148 medium priority: Ubuntu including 1 source packages (cacti), 4 status rows across 4 suites (dapper, edgy, feisty, upstream): released 3, needs-triage 1.

Description:

Cacti 0.8.6e and earlier does not perform proper input validation to protect against common attacks, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands or SQL by sending a legitimate value in a POST request or cookie, then specifying the attack string in the URL, which causes the get_request_var function to return the wrong value in the $_REQUEST variable, which is cleansed while the original malicious $_GET value remains unmodified, as demonstrated in (1) graph_image.php and (2) graph.php.
