Description Matt Fleming (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-09-24 19:29:36 UTC
A vulnerability has been reported in Webmin, which can be exploited by malicious users to gain escalated privileges.

The vulnerability is caused due to an unspecified error and can be exploited to execute arbitrary commands by requesting a specially crafted URL.

Successful exploitation requires valid user credentials and that Webmin is running on a Windows system.

The vulnerability is reported in versions prior to 1.370.

Version 1.370 is in portage but is masked.
