Severity: Low
Title: TikiWiki: Multiple vulnerabilities
Date: January 23, 2008
Bugs: #203265
ID: 200801-10

Synopsis

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in TikiWiki, some of them
having unknown impact.

Background

TikiWiki is an open source content management system written in PHP.

Affected packages

-------------------------------------------------------------------
 Package            /  Vulnerable  /                    Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------

1 www-apps/tikiwiki < 1.9.9 >= 1.9.9

Description

• Jesus Olmos Gonzalez from isecauditors reported insufficient
  sanitization of the "movies" parameter in file tiki-listmovies.php
  (CVE-2007-6528).

• Mesut Timur from H-Labs discovered that the input passed to the
  "area_name" parameter in file tiki-special_chars.php is not properly
  sanitised before being returned to the user (CVE-2007-6526).

• redflo reported multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in files
  tiki-edit_css.php, tiki-list_games.php, and
  tiki-g-admin_shared_source.php (CVE-2007-6529).

Impact

A remote attacker can craft the "movies" parameter to run a directory
traversal attack through a "…" sequence and read the first 1000 bytes
of any arbitrary file, or conduct a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack
through the "area_name" parameter. This attack can be exploited to
execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session,
allowing for the theft of browser session data or cookies in the
context of the affected web site. The impacts of the unspecified
vulnerabilities are still unknown.

Workaround

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution

All TikiWiki users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-apps/tikiwiki-1.9.9"
