phpSlash fields Parameter PHP Code Injection

This script is Copyright (C) 2009-2012 Tenable Network Security, Inc.


Synopsis :

The remote web server contains a PHP application that allows execution
of arbitrary PHP code.

Description :

The remote host is running phpSlash, a PHP weblog and content
management system that started out as a port of the Perl code used to
power Slashdot.org.

The installed version of phpSlash fails to validate user-supplied
input to the 'fields' parameter of the 'index.php' script before using
it to call 'eval()' in the 'tz_env::generic'' method. Regardless of
PHP's 'register_globals' and 'magic_quotes_gpc' settings, an
unauthenticated attacker can exploit this issue to inject arbitrary
PHP code and execute it on the remote host, subject to the privileges
of the web server user id.

Solution :

Unknown at this time.
