Tero Marttila discovered that the Debian packaging for smokeping installed it in such a way that the CGI implementation of Apache httpd (mod_cgi) passed additional arguments to the smokeping_cgi program, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution in response to crafted HTTP requests. For the oldstable distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in version 2.6.8-2+deb7u1. For the stable distribution (jessie), this problem has been fixed in version 2.6.9-1+deb8u1. We recommend that you upgrade your smokeping packages.
