"Several security problems have been found in elog, an electronic
logbook to manage notes. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures
Project identifies the following problems :

  - CVE-2005-4439
    'GroundZero Security' discovered that elog
    insufficiently checks the size of a buffer used for
    processing URL parameters, which might lead to the
    execution of arbitrary code.

  - CVE-2006-0347
    It was discovered that elog contains a directory
    traversal vulnerability in the processing of '../'
    sequences in URLs, which might lead to information
    disclosure.

  - CVE-2006-0348
    The code to write the log file contained a format string
    vulnerability, which might lead to the execution of
    arbitrary code.

  - CVE-2006-0597
    Overly long revision attributes might trigger a crash
    due to a buffer overflow.

  - CVE-2006-0598
    The code to write the log file does not enforce bounds
    checks properly, which might lead to the execution of
    arbitrary code.

  - CVE-2006-0599
    elog emitted different errors messages for invalid
    passwords and invalid users, which allows an attacker to
    probe for valid user names.

  - CVE-2006-0600
    An attacker could be driven into infinite redirection
    with a crafted 'fail' request, which has denial of
    service potential."
