Synopsis

========

 

Multiple vulnerabilities in Gallery may lead to execution of arbitrary

code, disclosure of local files or theft of user's credentials.

 

Background

==========

 

Gallery is an open source web based photo album organizer.

 

Affected packages

=================

 

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected

-------------------------------------------------------------------

1 www-apps/gallery < 2.2.6 >= 2.2.6

*>= 1.5.9

 

Description

===========

 

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Gallery 1 and 2:

 

* Digital Security Research Group reported a directory traversal

vulnerability in contrib/phpBB2/modules.php in Gallery 1, when

register_globals is enabled (CVE-2008-3600).

 

* Hanno Boeck reported that Gallery 1 and 2 did not set the secure

flag for the session cookie in an HTTPS session (CVE-2008-3662).

 

* Alex Ustinov reported that Gallery 1 and 2 does not properly handle

ZIP archives containing symbolic links (CVE-2008-4129).

 

* The vendor reported a Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability in Gallery

2 (CVE-2008-4130).

 

Impact

======

 

Remote attackers could send specially crafted requests to a server

running Gallery, allowing for the execution of arbitrary code when

register_globals is enabled, or read arbitrary files via directory

traversals otherwise. Attackers could also entice users to visit

crafted links allowing for theft of login credentials.

 

Workaround

==========

 

There is no known workaround at this time.

 

Resolution

==========

 

All Gallery 2 users should upgrade to the latest version:

 

# emerge --sync

# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-apps/gallery-2.2.6"

 

All Gallery 1 users should upgrade to the latest version:

 

# emerge --sync

# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-apps/gallery-1.5.9"
