53 Impact
54 ======
55
56 Remote attackers could send specially crafted requests to a server
57 running Gallery, allowing for the execution of arbitrary code when
58 register_globals is enabled, or read arbitrary files via directory
59 traversals otherwise. Attackers could also entice users to visit
60 crafted links allowing for theft of login credentials.
61
62 Workaround
63 ==========
64
65 There is no known workaround at this time.
66
67 Resolution
68 ==========
69
