Synopsis |
17 |
======== |
18 |
|
19 |
phpWebSite is vulnerable to multiple issues which result in the |
20 |
execution of arbitrary code and SQL injection. |
21 |
|
22 |
Background |
23 |
========== |
24 |
|
25 |

26 |
|
27 |
Affected packages |

Description |
36 |
=========== |
37 |
|
38 |
phpWebSite uses an XML-RPC library that improperly handles XML-RPC |
39 |
requests and responses with malformed nested tags. Furthermore, |
40 |
"matrix_killer" reported that phpWebSite is vulnerable to an SQL |
41 |
injection attack. |
42 |
|
43 |
Impact |
44 |
====== |
45 |
|
46 |
A malicious remote user could exploit this vulnerability to inject |
47 |
arbitrary PHP script code into eval() statements by sending a specially |
48 |
crafted XML document, and also inject SQL commands to access the |
49 |
underlying database directly. |
50 |
|
51 |
Workaround |
52 |
========== |
53 |
|
54 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
55 |
|
56 |
Resolution |
57 |
========== |
58 |
|
59 |
All phpWebSite users should upgrade to the latest version: |
60 |
|
61 |
# emerge --sync |
62 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-apps/phpwebsite-0.10.2_rc2" |
