Background ========== phpSysInfo displays various system stats via PHP scripts. Affected packages ================= ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 www-apps/phpsysinfo < 2.4.1 >= 2.4.1 Description =========== Christopher Kunz from the Hardened-PHP Project discovered that phpSysInfo is vulnerable to local file inclusion, cross-site scripting and a HTTP Response Splitting attacks. Impact ====== A local attacker may exploit the file inclusion vulnerability by sending malicious requests, causing the execution of arbitrary code with the rights of the user running the web server. A remote attacker could exploit the vulnerability to disclose local file content. Furthermore, the cross-site scripting issues gives a remote attacker the ability to inject and execute malicious script code in the user's browser context or to steal cookie-based authentication credentials. The HTTP response splitting issue give an attacker the ability to perform site hijacking and cache poisoning. Workaround ========== There is no known workaround at this time. Resolution ========== All phpSysInfo users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-apps/phpsysinfo-2.4.1" References ========== [ 1 ] Original advisory http://www.hardened-php.net/advisory_222005.81.html [ 2 ] CVE-2005-3347 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2005-3347 [ 3 ] CVE-2005-3348 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2005-3348 Availability ============ This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-200511-18.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.
