More information:

Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in dokuwiki, a standards compliant simple to use wiki. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems:

  • CVE-2010-0287

    It was discovered that an internal variable is not properly sanitized before being used to list directories. This can be exploited to list contents of arbitrary directories.

  • CVE-2010-0288

    It was discovered that the ACL Manager plugin doesn't properly check the administrator permissions. This allow an attacker to introduce arbitrary ACL rules and thus gaining access to a closed Wiki.

  • CVE-2010-0289

    It was discovered that the ACL Manager plugin doesn't have protections against cross-site request forgeries (CSRF). This can be exploited to change the access control rules by tricking a logged in administrator into visiting a malicious web site.

The oldstable distribution (etch) is not affected by these problems.

For the stable distribution (lenny), these problems have been fixed in version 0.0.20080505-4+lenny1.

For the testing distribution (squeeze) and the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in version 0.0.20090214b-3.1.

We recommend that you upgrade your dokuwiki package.

Fixed in:

Debian GNU/Linux 5.0 (lenny)
