Synopsis |
| 16 |
======== |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
Kronolith contains a flaw that could allow the execution of arbitrary |
| 19 |
files. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
Background |
| 22 |
========== |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Kronolith is a web-based calendar which relies on the Horde Framework |
| 25 |
for integration with other applications. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Affected packages |
| 28 |
================= |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 31 |
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected |
| 32 |
------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 33 |
1 www-apps/horde-kronolith < 2.1.4 >= 2.1.4 |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
Description |
| 36 |
=========== |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
Kronolith contains a mistake in lib/FBView.php where a raw, unfiltered |
| 39 |
string is used instead of a sanitized string to view local files. |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
Impact |
| 42 |
====== |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
An authenticated attacker could craft an HTTP GET request that uses |
| 45 |
directory traversal techniques to execute any file on the web server as |
| 46 |
PHP code, which could allow information disclosure or arbitrary code |
| 47 |
execution with the rights of the user running the PHP application |
| 48 |
(usually the webserver user). |
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
Workaround |
| 51 |
========== |
| 52 |
|
| 53 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
| 54 |
|
| 55 |
Resolution |
| 56 |
========== |
| 57 |
|
| 58 |
All horde-kronolith users should upgrade to the latest version: |
| 59 |
|
| 60 |
# emerge --sync |
| 61 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-apps/horde-kronolith-2.1.4" |
| 62 |
|
