 Mandriva Linux Security Advisory                       MDKSA-2006:170-1
 http://www.mandriva.com/security/
 _______________________________________________________________________
 
 Package : webmin
 Date    : September 27, 2006
 Affected: 2007.0
 _______________________________________________________________________
 
 Problem Description:
 
 Webmin before 1.296 and Usermin before 1.226 does not properly handle a
 URL with a null ("%00") character, which allows remote attackers to
 conduct cross-site scripting (XSS), read CGI program source code, list
 directories, and possibly execute programs.

 Updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.

 Update:

 Packages are now available for Mandriva Linux 2007.
