    <p>
    TikiWiki is a full featured Free Software Wiki, CMS and Groupware
    written in PHP. eGroupWare is a web-based collaboration software suite.
    Both TikiWiki and eGroupWare include a PHP library to handle XML-RPC
    requests.
    </p>
  </background>
  <description>
    <p>
    The XML-RPC library shipped in TikiWiki and eGroupWare improperly
    handles XML-RPC requests and responses with malformed nested tags.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="high">
    <p>
    A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to inject
    arbitrary PHP script code into eval() statements by sending a specially
    crafted XML document to TikiWiki or eGroupWare.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All TikiWiki users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=www-apps/tikiwiki-1.8.5-r2&quot;</code>
    <p>
    All eGroupWare users should upgrade to the latest version:
