Gentoo Linux Security Advisory

Title: phpCollab: Multiple vulnerabilities (GLSA 200812-20)
Severity: high
Exploitable: remote
Date: December 21, 2008
Bug(s): #235052
ID: 200812-20

Synopsis


Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in phpCollab allowing for
remote injection of shell commands, PHP code and SQL statements.


Background


phpCollab is a web-enabled groupware and project management software
written in PHP. It uses SQL-based database backends.


Affected Packages

Package: www-apps/phpcollab
Vulnerable: <= 2.5_rc3
Architectures: All supported architectures


Description


Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in phpCollab:
  • rgod reported that data sent to general/sendpassword.php via the
    loginForm parameter is not properly sanitized before being used in an
    SQL statement (CVE-2006-1495).
  • Christian Hoffmann of Gentoo
    Security discovered multiple vulnerabilities where input is
    insufficiently sanitized before being used in an SQL statement, for
    instance in general/login.php via the loginForm parameter.
    (CVE-2008-4303).
  • Christian Hoffmann also found out that the
    variable $SSL_CLIENT_CERT in general/login.php is not properly
    sanitized before being used in a shell command. (CVE-2008-4304).
  • User-supplied data to installation/setup.php is not checked before
    being written to include/settings.php which is executed later. This
    issue was reported by Christian Hoffmann as well (CVE-2008-4305).


Impact


These vulnerabilities enable remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL
statements and PHP code. NOTE: Some of the SQL injection
vulnerabilities require the php.ini option "magic_quotes_gpc" to be
disabled. Furthermore, an attacker might be able to execute arbitrary
shell commands if "register_globals" is enabled, "magic_quotes_gpc" is
disabled, the PHP OpenSSL extension is not installed or loaded and the
file "installation/setup.php" has not been deleted after installation.


Workaround


There is no known workaround at this time.


Resolution


phpCollab has been removed from the Portage tree. We recommend that
users unmerge phpCollab:
Code:
# emerge --unmerge "www-apps/phpcollab"
