It was discovered that phpBB contains a flaw in the session
|
|
handling code and a path disclosure bug. AnthraX101 discovered that
|
|
phpBB allows local users to read arbitrary files, if the "Enable remote
|
|
avatars" and "Enable avatar uploading" options are set (CAN-2005-0259).
|
|
He also found out that incorrect input validation in
|
|
"usercp_avatar.php" and "usercp_register.php" makes phpBB vulnerable to
|
|
directory traversal attacks, if the "Gallery avatars" setting is
|
|
enabled (CAN-2005-0258).
|

<impact type="normal">
|
|
<p>
|
|
Remote attackers can exploit the session handling flaw to gain
|
|
phpBB administrator rights. By providing a local and a remote location
|
|
for an avatar and setting the "Upload Avatar from a URL:" field to
|
|
point to the target file, a malicious local user can read arbitrary
|
|
local files. By inserting "/../" sequences into the "avatarselect"
|
|
parameter, a remote attacker can exploit the directory traversal
|
|
vulnerability to delete arbitrary files. A flaw in the "viewtopic.php"
|
|
script can be exploited to expose the full path of PHP scripts.

<workaround>
|
|
<p>
|
|
There is no known workaround at this time.

</p>
|
|
</workaround>
|
|
<resolution>
|
|
<p>
|
|
All phpBB users should upgrade to the latest available version:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
# emerge --sync
|
|
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-apps/phpBB-2.0.13"</code>
|
|
