Synopsis
========
phpGroupWare and eGroupWare include an XML-RPC implementation which
allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary PHP script commands.
Background
==========
phpGroupWare and eGroupWare are web based collaboration software
suites.
Affected packages
=================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 www-apps/phpgroupware < 0.9.16.006 >= 0.9.16.006
2 www-apps/egroupware < 1.0.0.008 >= 1.0.0.008
-------------------------------------------------------------------
2 affected packages on all of their supported architectures.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Description
===========
The XML-RPC implementations of phpGroupWare and eGroupWare fail to
sanitize input sent to the XML-RPC server using the "POST" method.
Impact
======
A remote attacker could exploit the XML-RPC vulnerability to execute
arbitrary PHP script code by sending specially crafted XML data to the
XML-RPC servers of phpGroupWare or eGroupWare.
Workaround
==========
There are no known workarounds at this time.
Resolution
==========
All phpGroupWare users should upgrade to the latest available version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-app/phpgroupware-0.9.16.006"
All eGroupWare users should upgrade to the latest available version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-app/egroupware-1.0.0.008"
