Background ========== TikiWiki is an open source content management system written in PHP. Affected packages ================= ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 www-apps/tikiwiki < 1.9.9 >= 1.9.9 Description =========== * Jesus Olmos Gonzalez from isecauditors reported insufficient sanitization of the "movies" parameter in file tiki-listmovies.php (CVE-2007-6528). * Mesut Timur from H-Labs discovered that the input passed to the "area_name" parameter in file tiki-special_chars.php is not properly sanitised before being returned to the user (CVE-2007-6526). * redflo reported multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in files tiki-edit_css.php, tiki-list_games.php, and tiki-g-admin_shared_source.php (CVE-2007-6529). Impact ====== A remote attacker can craft the "movies" parameter to run a directory traversal attack through a ".." sequence and read the first 1000 bytes of any arbitrary file, or conduct a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack through the "area_name" parameter. This attack can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session, allowing for the theft of browser session data or cookies in the context of the affected web site. The impacts of the unspecified vulnerabilities are still unknown. 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-1.9.9" References ========== [ 1 ] CVE-2007-6526 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-6526 [ 2 ] CVE-2007-6528 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-6528 [ 3 ] CVE-2007-6529 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-6529 Availability ============ This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-200801-10.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.
