PEAR::MDB2 is a database abstraction layer for PHP aimed to provide a |
| 40 |
common API for all supported relational database management systems. A |
| 41 |
LOB ("large object") is a database field holding binary data. |
| 42 |

priyadi discovered that the request to store a URL string as a LOB is |
| 47 |
treated as a request to retrieve and store the contents of the URL. |
| 48 |
</p> |

<impact type="normal"> |
| 51 |
<p> |
| 52 |
If an application using PEAR::MDB2 allows input of LOB values via a web |
| 53 |
form, remote attackers could use the application as an indirect proxy |
| 54 |
or obtain sensitive information, including "file://" URLs local to the |
| 55 |
web server. |
| 56 |
</p> |
| 57 |
</impact> |
| 58 |
<workaround> |
| 59 |
<p> |
| 60 |
As a workaround, manually filter input before storing it as a LOB in |
| 61 |
PEAR::MDB2. |
| 62 |
</p> |
| 63 |
</workaround> |
| 64 |
<resolution> |
| 65 |
<p> |
| 66 |
All PEAR::MDB2 users should upgrade to the latest version: |
| 67 |
</p> |

<code> |
| 69 |
# emerge --sync |
| 70 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-php/PEAR-MDB2-2.5.0_alpha1"</code> |
| 71 |
</resolution> |
