Descriptions

file/show.cgi in Webmin 1.590 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary commands via an invalid character in a pathname, as demonstrated by a | (pipe) character.

file/show.cgi en Webmin v1.590 y anteriores permite a usuarios remotos autenticados ejecutar código arbitrario a través de un carácter no válido en un nombre de ruta, como se demostró con | (pipe).

Multiple XSS, CSRF, and arbitrary code execution vulnerabilities that impact Webmin versions prior to 1.620. SA51201. The 1.680 version fixed security issues that could be exploited by un-trusted Webmin users in the PHP Configuration and Webalizer modules. The Authen::Libwrap perl module used by Webmin is also being provided. The updated packages have been upgraded to the 1.680 version which is not vulnerable to these issues.
