18 Synopsis
19 ========

21 There is a vulnerability in the Gallery photo album software which may

23
24 Background
25 ==========
26
27 Gallery is a web application written in PHP which is used to organize
28 and publish photo albums. It allows multiple users to build and
29 maintain their own albums. It also supports the mirroring of images on
30 other servers.

40 Description
41 ===========
42
43 There is a vulnerability in the Gallery photo album software which may
44 allow an attacker to gain administrator privileges within Gallery. A
45 Gallery administrator has full access to all albums and photos on the
46 server, thus attackers may add or delete photos at will.
47
48 Impact
49 ======
50
51 Attackers may gain full access to all Gallery albums. There is no risk
52 to the webserver itself, or the server on which it runs.
53
54 Workaround
55 ==========
56
57 There is no known workaround at this time. All users are encouraged to
58 upgrade to the latest available version.
59
60 Resolution
