Descriptions
file/edit_html.cgi in Webmin 1.590 and earlier does not perform an authorization check before showing a file's unedited contents, which allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via the file field.
file/edit_html.cgi en Webmin v1.590 y anteriores no realiza una comprobación de autorización antes de mostrar el contenido de un archivo sin editar, lo que permite a atacantes remotos leer archivos de su elección a través del campo de archivo.
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.
