More information:

Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in phpWiki, a wiki engine written in PHP. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems:

CVE-2007-2024
It was discovered that phpWiki performs insufficient file name validation, which allows unrestricted file uploads.
CVE-2007-2025
It was discovered that phpWiki performs insufficient file name validation, which allows unrestricted file uploads.
CVE-2007-3193
If the configuration lacks a nonzero PASSWORD_LENGTH_MINIMUM, phpWiki might allow remote attackers to bypass authentication via an empty password, which causes ldap_bind to return true when used with certain LDAP implementations.

The old stable distribution (sarge) does not contain phpwiki packages.

For the stable distribution (etch) these problems have been fixed in version 1.3.12p3-5etch1.

For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in version 1.3.12p3-6.1.

We recommend that you upgrade your phpwiki package.

Fixed in:

Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 (etch)
