PEAR::MDB2 is a database abstraction layer for PHP aimed to provide a
|
|
common API for all supported relational database management systems. A
|
|
LOB ("large object") is a database field holding binary data.
|
|
</p>
|
|

|
|
<description>
|
|
<p>
|
|
priyadi discovered that the request to store a URL string as a LOB is
|
|
treated as a request to retrieve and store the contents of the URL.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</description>
|
|
<impact type="normal">
|
|
<p>
|
|
If an application using PEAR::MDB2 allows input of LOB values via a web
|
|
form, remote attackers could use the application as an indirect proxy
|
|
or obtain sensitive information, including "file://" URLs local to the
|
|
web server.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</impact>
|
|
<workaround>
|
|
<p>
|
|
As a workaround, manually filter input before storing it as a LOB in
|
|
PEAR::MDB2.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</workaround>
|
|
<resolution>
|
|
<p>
|
|
All PEAR::MDB2 users should upgrade to the latest version:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
# emerge --sync
|
|
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-php/PEAR-MDB2-2.5.0_alpha1"</code>
|
|
</resolution>
