Background ========== Cacti is a complete web-based front end to rrdtool. Affected packages ================= ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 net-analyzer/cacti <= 0.8.5a >= 0.8.5a-r1 Description =========== Cacti is vulnerable to a SQL injection attack where an attacker may inject SQL into the Username field. Impact ====== An attacker could use these vulnerabilities to compromise the Cacti service and potentially execute programs with the permissions of the user running Cacti. Workaround ========== To prevent SQL code injection, php_flag magic_quotes_gpc should be set to Off. By default, Gentoo Linux installs PHP with this option set to Off. Resolution ========== All users should upgrade to the latest available version of Cacti, as follows: # emerge sync # emerge -pv ">=net-analyzer/cacti-0.8.5a-r1" # emerge ">=net-analyzer/cacti-0.8.5a-r1" References ========== [ 1 ] Full Disclosure Announcement http://archives.neohapsis.com/archives/fulldisclosure/2004-08/0717.html Availability ============ This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-200408-21.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.
