21 |
Background |
22 |
========== |
23 |
|
24 |

Description |
40 |
=========== |
41 |
|
42 |
James Bercegay of GulfTech Security Research discovered that the PEAR |
43 |
XML-RPC and phpxmlrpc libraries fail to sanatize input sent using the |
44 |
"POST" method. |
45 |
|
46 |
Impact |
47 |
====== |
48 |
|
49 |
A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary |
50 |
PHP script code by sending a specially crafted XML document to web |
51 |
applications making use of these libraries. |
52 |
|
53 |
Workaround |
54 |
========== |
55 |
|
56 |
There are no known workarounds at this time. |
57 |
|
58 |
Resolution |
59 |
========== |
60 |
|
61 |
All PEAR-XML_RPC users should upgrade to the latest available version: |
62 |
|
63 |
# emerge --sync |
64 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-php/PEAR-XML_RPC-1.3.1" |
65 |
|
66 |
All phpxmlrpc users should upgrade to the latest available version: |
