15 | Synopsis |
16 | ======== |
17 | |
18 | Cacti is vulnerable to several SQL injection and file inclusion |
19 | vulnerabilities. |
20 | |
21 | Background |
22 | ========== |
23 | |
24 | Cacti is a complete web-based frontend to rrdtool. |
25 | |
26 | Affected packages |
27 | ================= |
28 | |
29 | ------------------------------------------------------------------- |
30 | Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected |
31 | ------------------------------------------------------------------- |
32 | 1 net-analyzer/cacti < 0.8.6e >= 0.8.6e |
33 | |
34 | Description |
35 | =========== |
36 | |
37 | Cacti fails to properly sanitize input which can lead to SQL injection |
38 | as well as PHP file inclusion. |
39 | |
40 | Impact |
41 | ====== |
42 | |
43 | An attacker could potentially exploit the file inclusion to execute |
44 | arbitrary code with the permissions of the web server. An attacker |
45 | could exploit the SQL injection to gain information from the database. |
46 | Only systems with register_globals set to "On" are vulnerable to the |
47 | file inclusion bugs. Gentoo Linux ships with register_globals set to |
48 | "Off" by default. |
49 | |
50 | Workaround |
51 | ========== |
52 | |
53 | There is no known workaround at this time. |
54 | |
55 | Resolution |
56 | ========== |
57 | |
58 | All Cacti users should upgrade to the latest version: |
59 | |
60 | # emerge --sync |
61 | # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-analyzer/cacti-0.8.6e" |
62 | |
63 | Note: Users with the vhosts USE flag set should manually use |
64 | webapp-config to finalize the update. |
