Background ========== PhpWiki is an application that creates a web site where anyone can edit the pages through HTML forms. Affected packages ================= ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 www-apps/phpwiki < 1.3.10-r2 >= 1.3.10-r2 Description =========== Earlier versions of PhpWiki contain an XML-RPC library that improperly handles XML-RPC requests and responses with malformed nested tags. Impact ====== A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to inject arbitrary PHP script code into eval() statements by sending a specially crafted XML document to PhpWiki. Workaround ========== There is no known workaround at this time. Resolution ========== All PhpWiki users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-apps/phpwiki-1.3.10-r2" References ========== [ 1 ] CAN-2005-2498 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2005-2498 Availability ============ This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-200508-18.xml Concerns? ========= Security is a primary focus of Gentoo Linux and ensuring the confidentiality and security of our users machines is of utmost importance to us.
