DLA-566-1 cakephp -- LTS security update

Date Reported:
28 Jul 2016
Affected Packages:
cakephp
Vulnerable:
Yes
Security database references:
In the Debian bugtracking system: Bug 832283.
More information:

CakePHP, an open-source web application framework for PHP, was vulnerable to SSRF (Server Side Request Forgery) attacks. Remote attacker can utilize it for at least DoS (Denial of Service) attacks, if the target application accepts XML as an input. It is caused by insecure design of Cake's Xml class.

For Debian 7 Wheezy, these problems have been fixed in version 1.3.15-1+deb7u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your cakephp packages.
