Synopsis |
16 |
======== |
17 |
|
18 |
phpGroupWare is vulnerable to multiple issues ranging from information |
19 |
disclosure to a potential execution of arbitrary code. |
20 |
|
21 |
Background |
22 |
========== |
23 |
|
24 |
phpGroupWare is a multi-user groupware suite written in PHP. |
25 |
|
26 |
Affected packages |
27 |
================= |
28 |
|
29 |
------------------------------------------------------------------- |
30 |
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected |
31 |
------------------------------------------------------------------- |
32 |
1 www-apps/phpgroupware < 0.9.16.008 >= 0.9.16.008 |
33 |
|
34 |
Description |
35 |
=========== |
36 |
|
37 |
phpGroupWare improperly validates the "mid" parameter retrieved via a |
38 |
forum post. The current version of phpGroupWare also adds several |
39 |
safeguards to prevent XSS issues, and disables the use of a potentially |
40 |
vulnerable XML-RPC library. |
41 |
|
42 |
Impact |
43 |
====== |
44 |
|
45 |
A remote attacker may leverage the XML-RPC vulnerability to execute |
46 |
arbitrary PHP script code. He could also create a specially crafted |
47 |
request that will reveal private posts. |
48 |
|
49 |
Workaround |
50 |
========== |
51 |
|
52 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
53 |
|
54 |
Resolution |
55 |
========== |
56 |
|
57 |
All phpGroupWare users should upgrade to the latest version: |
58 |
|
59 |
# emerge --sync |
60 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-apps/phpgroupware-0.9.16.008" |
61 |
