New version of AWStats

Current Hestiacp has v7.8 in 7.9 some fixes include #195/CVE-2020-35176 and in v8.0 there are some smaller fixes.

How do we upgrade to the latest version V8.0?

Hestia uses the awstats version provided by the OS.

❯ dpkg -l | grep -E '^ii\s*awstats' | awk '{print $3}'
7.8-3+deb12u1

In this case, even using version 7.8 in Debian Bookworm, it has all security fixes.

For example:

❯ apt-get changelog awstats | cat | grep -A7 -B3 2020-35176
awstats (7.8-2) unstable; urgency=high

  * QA upload.
  * CVE-2020-35176: 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.
    Closes: #977190
