Synopsis |
19 |
======== |
20 |
|
21 |
The Gallery image upload code contains a temporary file handling |
22 |
vulnerability which could lead to execution of arbitrary commands. |
23 |
|
24 |
Background |
25 |
========== |
26 |
|
27 |
Gallery is a PHP script for maintaining online photo albums. |
28 |
|
29 |
Affected packages |

|
37 |
Description |
38 |
=========== |
39 |
|
40 |
The upload handling code in Gallery places uploaded files in a |
41 |
temporary directory. After 30 seconds, these files are deleted if they |
42 |
are not valid images. However, since the file exists for 30 seconds, a |
43 |
carefully crafted script could be initiated by the remote attacker |
44 |
during this 30 second timeout. Note that the temporary directory has to |
45 |
be located inside the webroot and an attacker needs to have upload |
46 |
rights either as an authenticated user or via "EVERYBODY". |
47 |
|
48 |
Impact |
49 |
====== |
50 |
|
51 |
An attacker could run arbitrary code as the user running PHP. |
52 |
|
53 |
Workaround |
54 |
========== |
55 |
|
56 |
There are several workarounds to this vulnerability: |
57 |
|
58 |
* Make sure that your temporary directory is not contained in the |
59 |
webroot; by default it is located outside the webroot. |
60 |
|
61 |
* Disable upload rights to all albums for "EVERYBODY"; upload is |
62 |
disabled by default. |
63 |
|
64 |
* Disable debug and dev mode; these settings are disabled by default. |
65 |
|
66 |
* Disable allow_url_fopen in php.ini. |
67 |
|
68 |
Resolution |
69 |
========== |
70 |
|
71 |
All Gallery users should upgrade to the latest version: |
72 |
|
73 |
# emerge sync |
74 |
|
75 |
# emerge -pv ">=www-apps/gallery-1.4.4_p2" |
76 |
# emerge ">=www-apps/gallery-1.4.4_p2" |
77 |
