cherokee: multiple vulnerabilities

Package(s):cherokee CVE #(s):CVE-2011-2190 CVE-2011-2191
Created:September 26, 2011 Updated:November 25, 2011
Description: The Cherokee server admin configuration web interface is vulnerable to CSRF. If an admin is logged into the Cherokee admin interface and visits a site which runs a malicious script, Cherokee can be reconfigured to execute arbitrary commands. It is also vulnerable to use the CSRF to produce a persistent XSS. (CVE-2011-2091)

Cherokee seeds srand with a combination of the time and the PID of the admin process, after which rand() is called to generate a random password -- this is unsafe and allows for fairly easy local password guessing by a local user. (CVE-2011-2090)
