Synopsis
The remote Gentoo host is missing one or more security-related patches.Description
The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200812-20 (phpCollab: Multiple vulnerabilities)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 a 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.
Solution
phpCollab has been removed from the Portage tree. We recommend that users unmerge phpCollab:# emerge --unmerge 'www-apps/phpcollab'
