Synopsis |
19 |
======== |
20 |
|
21 |
Insufficient input checking in SWORD may allow shell command injection. |
22 |
|
23 |
Background |
24 |
========== |
25 |
|
26 |
SWORD is a library for Bible study software. |
27 |

|
36 |
Description |
37 |
=========== |
38 |
|
39 |
Dan Dennison reported that the diatheke.pl script used in SWORD does |
40 |
not properly sanitize shell meta-characters in the "range" parameter |
41 |
before processing it. |
42 |
|
43 |
Impact |
44 |
====== |
45 |
|
46 |
A remote attacker could provide specially crafted input to a vulnerable |
47 |
application, possibly resulting in the remote execution of arbitrary |
48 |
shell commands with the privileges of the user running SWORD (generally |
49 |
the web server account). |
50 |
|
51 |
Workaround |
52 |
========== |
53 |
|
54 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
55 |
|
56 |
Resolution |
57 |
========== |
58 |
|
59 |
All SWORD users should upgrade to the latest version: |
60 |
|
61 |
# emerge --sync |
62 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-text/sword-1.5.8-r2" |
63 |
