Background ========== phpWebSite is a web site content management system. Affected packages ================= ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 www-apps/phpwebsite < 0.10.2_rc2 >= 0.10.2_rc2 Description =========== phpWebSite uses an XML-RPC library that improperly handles XML-RPC requests and responses with malformed nested tags. Furthermore, "matrix_killer" reported that phpWebSite is vulnerable to an SQL injection attack. Impact ====== A malicious remote user could exploit this vulnerability to inject arbitrary PHP script code into eval() statements by sending a specially crafted XML document, and also inject SQL commands to access the underlying database directly. Workaround ========== There is no known workaround at this time. Resolution ========== All phpWebSite users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-apps/phpwebsite-0.10.2_rc2" References ========== [ 1 ] CAN-2005-2498 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2005-2498 [ 2 ] Original Advisory http://archives.neohapsis.com/archives/fulldisclosure/2005-08/0497.html Availability ============ This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-200508-21.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.
