Detail

Stephen Gran and Mark Hymers discovered that some scripts run by GForge, a collaborative development tool, open files in write mode in a potentially insecure manner. This may be exploited to overwrite arbitary files on the local system.

For the stable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in version 4.5.14-22etch8.

For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem will be fixed soon.

We recommend that you upgrade your gforge package.

Id Description
45265 GForge Insecure Temporary Files Unspecified Symlink Arbitrary File Overwrite
42135 phpQLAdmin ezmlm.php _SESSION[path] Parameter Remote File Inclusion

phpQLAdmin contains a flaw that may allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary commands. The issue is due to 'ezmlm.php' not properly sanitizing user input supplied to the '_SESSION[path]' variable. This may allow an attacker to include a file from a remote host that contains arbitrary commands which will be executed by the vulnerable script.
