DESCRIPTION:
dave b has discovered a vulnerability in Cherokee, which can be
exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site request forgery
attacks.
The cherokee-admin web interface application allows users to perform
certain actions via HTTP requests without performing any validity
checks to verify the requests. This can be exploited to e.g.
reconfigure error logging and execute an arbitrary command if a
logged-in administrative user visits a malicious web site.
The vulnerability is confirmed in version 1.2.98. Other versions may
also be affected.
SOLUTION:
Do not browse untrusted sites or follow untrusted links while being
logged-in to the application.
