15 Synopsis
16 ========
17
18 phpDocumentor bundles Smarty which contains an input sanitation flaw,
19 allowing attackers to call arbitrary PHP functions.
20
21 Background
22 ==========
23
24 The phpDocumentor package provides automatic documenting of PHP API
25 directly from the source.
26

35
36 Description
37 ===========
38
39 phpDocumentor bundles Smarty with the modifier.regex_replace.php
40 plug-in which does not properly sanitize input related to the ASCII NUL

42
43 Impact
44 ======
45
46 A remote attacker could call arbitrary PHP functions via templates.
47
48 Workaround
49 ==========
50
51 There is no known workaround at this time.
52
53 Resolution
54 ==========
55
56 All phpDocumentor users should upgrade to the latest stable version:
57
58 # emerge --sync
59 # emerge --ask --oneshot -v ">=dev-php/PEAR-PhpDocumentor-1.4.3-r1"
