[Pkg-cacti-maint] Bug#947374: cacti: CVE-2019-17357: does not seem to affect stretch

[Hugo Lefeuvre]

Hi,

after taking a look at the source code, this vulnerability does not seem to
affect cacti 0.8.8h+ds1-10 (stretch).

rationale: template_id is sanitized at line 1048:
input_validate_input_number(get_request_var_request("template_id"));

This check was replaced over time and gradually disappeared, which explains
the security issue in recent versions.

Chris: you worked on cacti in jessie and triaged it not-affected. Jessie
has a similar version, does this match your findings?

Just to make sure, I contacted upstream to get reproduction instructions
before I triage this not-affected in stretch in the tracker.

cheers,
Hugo
