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" |
