Package: glpi
Severity: important
Tags: security

The following was reported to oss-security:

--------
  it was found that GLPI, the Information Resource-Manager with an
additional Administration-Interface, did not properly blacklist
certain sensitive variables (like GLPI username and password). A
remote attacker could use this flaw to obtain access to plaintext form
of these values via specially-crafted HTTP POST request.

Since security support for glpi is limited it''s sufficient to fix it
up in unstable.

Cheers,
