+ <title>phpBB: Multiple vulnerabilities</title>

+ <background>
+ <p>
+ phpBB is an Open Source bulletin board package.

+ <description>
+ <p>
+ 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).
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <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.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <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 &quot;&gt;=www-apps/phpBB-2.0.13&quot;</code>
