Synopsis |
| 16 |
======== |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in TikiWiki, some of them |
| 19 |
having unknown impact. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
Background |
| 22 |
========== |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
TikiWiki is an open source content management system written in PHP. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
Affected packages |
| 27 |
================= |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 30 |
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected |
| 31 |
------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 32 |
1 www-apps/tikiwiki < 1.9.9 >= 1.9.9 |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
Description |
| 35 |
=========== |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
* Jesus Olmos Gonzalez from isecauditors reported insufficient |
| 38 |
sanitization of the "movies" parameter in file tiki-listmovies.php |
| 39 |
(CVE-2007-6528). |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
* Mesut Timur from H-Labs discovered that the input passed to the |
| 42 |
"area_name" parameter in file tiki-special_chars.php is not properly |
| 43 |
sanitised before being returned to the user (CVE-2007-6526). |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
* redflo reported multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in files |
| 46 |
tiki-edit_css.php, tiki-list_games.php, and |
| 47 |
tiki-g-admin_shared_source.php (CVE-2007-6529). |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
Impact |
| 50 |
====== |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
A remote attacker can craft the "movies" parameter to run a directory |
| 53 |
traversal attack through a ".." sequence and read the first 1000 bytes |
| 54 |
of any arbitrary file, or conduct a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack |
| 55 |
through the "area_name" parameter. This attack can be exploited to |
| 56 |
execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session, |
| 57 |
allowing for the theft of browser session data or cookies in the |
| 58 |
context of the affected web site. The impacts of the unspecified |
| 59 |
vulnerabilities are still unknown. |
| 60 |
|
| 61 |
Workaround |
| 62 |
========== |
| 63 |
|
| 64 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
| 65 |
|
| 66 |
Resolution |
| 67 |
========== |
| 68 |
|
| 69 |
All TikiWiki users should upgrade to the latest version: |
| 70 |
|
| 71 |
# emerge --sync |
| 72 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-apps/tikiwiki-1.9.9" |
| 73 |
