http://security.gentoo.org/

Severity:	low
Title:	Trac: Cross-site request forgery
Date:	12/12/2006
Bugs:	#154574
ID:	200612-14

Synopsis

Trac allows remote attackers to execute unauthorized actions as other users.

Background

Trac is a wiki and issue tracking system for software development projects.

Affected packages

Package	Vulnerable	Unaffected	Architecture(s)
www-apps/trac	< 0.10.1	>= 0.10.1	All supported architectures

Description

Trac allows users to perform certain tasks via HTTP requests without performing correct validation on those requests.

Impact

An attacker could entice an authenticated user to browse to a specially crafted URL, allowing the attacker to execute actions in the Trac instance as if they were the user.

Workaround

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution

All Trac users should upgrade to the latest version:

    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-apps/trac-0.10.1"
