Background ========== Kronolith is a web-based calendar which relies on the Horde Framework for integration with other applications. Affected packages ================= ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 www-apps/horde-kronolith < 2.1.4 >= 2.1.4 Description =========== Kronolith contains a mistake in lib/FBView.php where a raw, unfiltered string is used instead of a sanitized string to view local files. Impact ====== An authenticated attacker could craft an HTTP GET request that uses directory traversal techniques to execute any file on the web server as PHP code, which could allow information disclosure or arbitrary code execution with the rights of the user running the PHP application (usually the webserver user). Workaround ========== There is no known workaround at this time. Resolution ========== All horde-kronolith users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-apps/horde-kronolith-2.1.4" References ========== [ 1 ] CVE-2006-6175 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-6175 Availability ============ This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-200701-11.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.
