Synopsis

Multiple vulnerabilities in Gallery may lead to execution of arbitrary code, disclosure of local files or theft of user's credentials.

2.  Impact Information

Background

Gallery is an open source web based photo album organizer.

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.

3.  Resolution Information

Workaround

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution

All Gallery 2 users should upgrade to the latest version:

Code Listing 3.1: Resolution

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

All Gallery 1 users should upgrade to the latest version:

Code Listing 3.2: Resolution

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