Synopsis
========
Multiple vulnerabilities in Gallery may lead to execution of arbitrary
code, disclosure of local files or theft of user's credentials.
Background
==========
Gallery is an open source web based photo album organizer.
Affected packages
=================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 www-apps/gallery < 2.2.6 >= 2.2.6
*>= 1.5.9
Description
===========
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Gallery 1 and 2:
* Digital Security Research Group reported a directory traversal
vulnerability in contrib/phpBB2/modules.php in Gallery 1, when
register_globals is enabled (CVE-2008-3600).
* Hanno Boeck reported that Gallery 1 and 2 did not set the secure
flag for the session cookie in an HTTPS session (CVE-2008-3662).
* Alex Ustinov reported that Gallery 1 and 2 does not properly handle
ZIP archives containing symbolic links (CVE-2008-4129).
* The vendor reported a Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability in Gallery
2 (CVE-2008-4130).
Impact
======
Remote attackers could send specially crafted requests to a server
running Gallery, allowing for the execution of arbitrary code when
register_globals is enabled, or read arbitrary files via directory
traversals otherwise. Attackers could also entice users to visit
crafted links allowing for theft of login credentials.
Workaround
==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
==========
All Gallery 2 users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-apps/gallery-2.2.6"
All Gallery 1 users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-apps/gallery-1.5.9"
