Description |
| 43 |
=========== |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
The XML-RPC library shipped in TikiWiki and eGroupWare improperly |
| 46 |
handles XML-RPC requests and responses with malformed nested tags. |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
Impact |
| 49 |
====== |
| 50 |
|
| 51 |
A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to inject arbitrary |
| 52 |
PHP script code into eval() statements by sending a specially crafted |
| 53 |
XML document to TikiWiki or eGroupWare. |
| 54 |
|
| 55 |
Workaround |
| 56 |
========== |
| 57 |
|
| 58 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
| 59 |
|
| 60 |
Resolution |
| 61 |
========== |
| 62 |
|
| 63 |
All TikiWiki users should upgrade to the latest version: |
| 64 |
|
| 65 |
# emerge --sync |
| 66 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-apps/tikiwiki-1.8.5-r2" |
| 67 |
|
| 68 |
All eGroupWare users should upgrade to the latest version: |
| 69 |
|
