Background ========== phpGroupWare is a multi-user groupware suite written in PHP. Affected packages ================= ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 www-apps/phpgroupware < 0.9.16.008 >= 0.9.16.008 Description =========== phpGroupWare improperly validates the "mid" parameter retrieved via a forum post. The current version of phpGroupWare also adds several safeguards to prevent XSS issues, and disables the use of a potentially vulnerable XML-RPC library. Impact ====== A remote attacker may leverage the XML-RPC vulnerability to execute arbitrary PHP script code. He could also create a specially crafted request that will reveal private posts. Workaround ========== There is no known workaround at this time. Resolution ========== All phpGroupWare users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-apps/phpgroupware-0.9.16.008" References ========== [ 1 ] CAN-2005-2498 http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=2005-2498 [ 2 ] CAN-2005-2600 http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=2005-2600 [ 3 ] Secunia Advisory SA16414 http://secunia.com/advisories/16414 Availability ============ This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-200508-20.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.
