Background ========== phpWebSite provides a complete web site content management system. Affected packages ================= ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 www-apps/phpwebsite < 0.10.2 >= 0.10.2 Description =========== rgod has reported that the "hub_dir" parameter in "index.php" isn't properly verified. When "magic_quotes_gpc" is disabled, this can be exploited to include arbitrary files from local ressources. Impact ====== If "magic_quotes_gpc" is disabled, which is not the default on Gentoo Linux, a remote attacker could exploit this issue to include and execute PHP scripts from local ressources with the rights of the user running the web server, or to disclose sensitive information and potentially compromise a vulnerable system. Workaround ========== There is no known workaround at this time. Resolution ========== All phpWebSite users should upgrade to the latest available version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-apps/phpwebsite-0.10.2" References ========== [ 1 ] CVE-2006-1819 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-1819 Availability ============ This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-200605-04.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.
