Subject: [SECURITY] New versions of Boa packages available
Debian Security Advisory security@debian.org

Package: boa
Vulnerability: exposes contents of local files
Debian-specific: no
Vulnerable: yes
In versions of boa before 0.94.8.3, it is possible to access files
outside of the server’s document root by the use of properly
constructed URL requests.
This problem is fixed in version 0.94.8.3-1, uploaded to
Debian’s unstable distribution on October 3, 2000. Fixed packages
are also available in proposed-updates and will be included in the
next revision of Debian/2.2
(potato).
Debian GNU/Linux 2.1 alias slink
Slink contains Boa version 0.93.15. This version is no longer
supported; we recommend that slink users upgrade to potato, or
recompile the current Boa packages on their slink systems.
Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 (stable) alias potato
Fixes are currently available for Alpha, Intel ia32, Motorola
680×0, PowerPC and the Sun Sparc architectures, from the
proposed-updates archive and from these URLs:
