Synopsis
========
The PEAR XML-RPC and phpxmlrpc libraries allow remote attackers to
execute arbitrary PHP script commands.
Background
==========
The PEAR XML-RPC and phpxmlrpc libraries are both PHP implementations
of the XML-RPC protocol.
Affected packages
=================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 dev-php/PEAR-XML_RPC < 1.3.1 >= 1.3.1

Description
===========
James Bercegay of GulfTech Security Research discovered that the PEAR
XML-RPC and phpxmlrpc libraries fail to sanatize input sent using the
"POST" method.
Impact
======
A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary
PHP script code by sending a specially crafted XML document to web
applications making use of these libraries.
Workaround
==========
There are no known workarounds at this time.
Resolution
==========
All PEAR-XML_RPC users should upgrade to the latest available version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-php/PEAR-XML_RPC-1.3.1"
All phpxmlrpc users should upgrade to the latest available version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-php/phpxmlrpc-1.1.1"
