Background ========== Tikiwiki is a web-based groupware and content management system, developed with PHP, ADOdb and Smarty. Affected packages ================= ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 www-apps/tikiwiki < 1.9.5 >= 1.9.5 Description =========== A vulnerability in jhot.php allows for an unrestricted file upload to the img/wiki/ directory. Additionally, an XSS exists in the highlight parameter of tiki-searchindex.php. Impact ====== An attacker could execute arbitrary code with the rights of the user running the web server by uploading a file and executing it via a filepath parameter. The XSS could be exploited to inject and execute malicious script code or to steal cookie-based authentication credentials, potentially compromising the victim's browser. Workaround ========== There is no known workaround at this time. Resolution ========== All Tikiwiki users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --oneshot --verbose --ask ">=www-apps/tikiwiki-1.9.5" References ========== [ 1 ] CVE-2006-4299 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-4299 [ 2 ] CVE-2006-4602 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-4602 Availability ============ This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-200609-16.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.
