15 Synopsis
16 ========
17
18 Remote attackers can include local files which may lead to the
19 execution of arbitrary code.
20
21 Background
22 ==========
23
24 phpWebSite provides a complete web site content management system.
25
26 Affected packages
27 =================
28
29 -------------------------------------------------------------------
30 Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
31 -------------------------------------------------------------------
32 1 www-apps/phpwebsite < 0.10.2 >= 0.10.2
33
34 Description
35 ===========
36
37 rgod has reported that the "hub_dir" parameter in "index.php" isn't
38 properly verified. When "magic_quotes_gpc" is disabled, this can be
39 exploited to include arbitrary files from local ressources.
40
41 Impact
42 ======
43
44 If "magic_quotes_gpc" is disabled, which is not the default on Gentoo
45 Linux, a remote attacker could exploit this issue to include and
46 execute PHP scripts from local ressources with the rights of the user
47 running the web server, or to disclose sensitive information and
48 potentially compromise a vulnerable system.
49
50 Workaround
51 ==========
52
53 There is no known workaround at this time.
54
55 Resolution
56 ==========
57
58 All phpWebSite users should upgrade to the latest available version:
59
60 # emerge --sync
61 # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-apps/phpwebsite-0.10.2"
