Background ========== TikiWiki is an open source content management system written in PHP. Affected packages ================= ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 www-apps/tikiwiki < 1.9.6 >= 1.9.6 Description =========== In numerous files TikiWiki provides an empty sort_mode parameter, causing TikiWiki to display additional information, including database authentication credentials, in certain error messages. TikiWiki also improperly sanitizes the "url" request variable sent to tiki-featured_link.php. Impact ====== An attacker could cause a database error in various pages of a TikiWiki instance by providing an empty sort_mode request variable, and gain unauthorized access to credentials of the MySQL databases used by TikiWiki. An attacker could also entice a user to browse to a specially crafted URL that could run scripts in the scope of the user's browser. Workaround ========== There is no known workaround at this time. Resolution ========== All TikiWiki users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-apps/tikiwiki-1.9.6" References ========== [ 1 ] CVE-2006-5702 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-5702 [ 2 ] CVE-2006-5703 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-5703 Availability ============ This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-200611-11.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.
