Synopsis |
17 |
======== |
18 |
|
19 |

20 |
execute arbitrary PHP script commands. |
21 |
|
22 |
Background |
23 |
========== |
24 |
|
25 |
The PEAR XML-RPC and phpxmlrpc libraries are both PHP implementations |
26 |
of the XML-RPC protocol. |

Description |
41 |
=========== |
42 |
|
43 |
Stefan Esser of the Hardened-PHP Project discovered that the PEAR |
44 |
XML-RPC and phpxmlrpc libraries were improperly handling XMLRPC |
45 |
requests and responses with malformed nested tags. |
46 |
|
47 |
Impact |
48 |
====== |
49 |
|
50 |
A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to inject arbitrary |
51 |
PHP script code into eval() statements by sending a specially crafted |
52 |
XML document to web applications making use of these libraries. |
53 |
|
54 |
Workaround |
55 |
========== |
56 |
|
57 |
There are no known workarounds at this time. |
58 |
|
59 |
Resolution |
60 |
========== |
61 |
|
62 |
All PEAR-XML_RPC users should upgrade to the latest available version: |
63 |
|
64 |
# emerge --sync |
65 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-php/PEAR-XML_RPC-1.4.0" |
66 |
|
67 |
All phpxmlrpc users should upgrade to the latest available version: |
68 |
|
69 |
# emerge --sync |
70 |
