Synopsis |
16 |
======== |
17 |
|
18 |
phpSysInfo is vulnerable to multiple issues, including a local file |
19 |
inclusion leading to information disclosure and the potential |
20 |
execution of arbitrary code. |
21 |
|
22 |
Background |
23 |

Description |
36 |
=========== |
37 |
|
38 |
Christopher Kunz from the Hardened-PHP Project discovered that |
39 |
phpSysInfo is vulnerable to local file inclusion, cross-site scripting |
40 |
and a HTTP Response Splitting attacks. |
41 |
|
42 |
Impact |
43 |
====== |
44 |
|
45 |
A local attacker may exploit the file inclusion vulnerability by |
46 |
sending malicious requests, causing the execution of arbitrary code |
47 |
with the rights of the user running the web server. A remote attacker |
48 |
could exploit the vulnerability to disclose local file content. |
49 |
Furthermore, the cross-site scripting issues gives a remote attacker |
50 |
the ability to inject and execute malicious script code in the user's |
51 |
browser context or to steal cookie-based authentication credentials. |
52 |
The HTTP response splitting issue give an attacker the ability to |
53 |
perform site hijacking and cache poisoning. |
54 |
|
55 |
Workaround |
56 |
========== |
57 |
|
58 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
59 |
|
60 |
Resolution |
61 |
========== |
62 |
|
63 |
All phpSysInfo users should upgrade to the latest version: |
64 |
|
65 |
# emerge --sync |
66 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-apps/phpsysinfo-2.4.1" |
