Vulnerability  : missing input sanitising
Problem-Type   : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID         : CAN-2005-0363
Debian Bug     : 294488

In addition to CAN-2005-0116 more vulnerabilities have been found in
awstats, a powerful and featureful web server log analyzer with a CGI
frontend.  Missing input sanitising can cause arbitrary commands to be
executed.

version 4.0-0.woody.2.

version 6.2-1.2.

We recommend that you upgrade your awstats package.
