Hi,
The following vulnerability was published for awstats, which is a
followup to CVE-2020-29600 (incomplete fix for it, and previously
CVE-2017-1000501, cf. #891469).
CVE-2020-35176[0]:
| In AWStats through 7.8, cgi-bin/awstats.pl?config= accepts a partial
| absolute pathname (omitting the initial /etc), even though it was
| intended to only read a file in the /etc/awstats/awstats.conf format.
| NOTE: this issue exists because of an incomplete fix for
| CVE-2017-1000501 and CVE-2020-29600.
If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the
CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry.
