Detail

Stefan Esser discovered a vulnerability in the XML-RPC libraries which are also present in egroupware, a web-based groupware suite, that allows injection of arbitrary PHP code into eval() statements.

The old stable distribution (woody) does not contain egroupware packages.

For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in version 1.0.0.007-2.dfsg-2sarge2.

For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in version 1.0.0.009.dfsg-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your egroupware packages.

Title: Eval injection vulnerability in PHPXMLRPC 1.1.1 and earlier (PEAR XML-RPC for PHP), as used in multiple products including (1) Drupal, (2) phpAdsNew, (3) phpPgAds, and (4) phpgroupware, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary PHP code via certain nested XML tags in a PHP document that should not be nested, which are injected into an eval function call, a different vulnerability than CVE-2005-1921.

Id Description
18889 XML-RPC for PHP (PHPXMLRPC) Nested XML Tags Arbitrary PHP Code Execution

XML-RPC for PHP (PHPXMLRPC) contains a flaw that may allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary PHP code. The problem is that the library does not properly sanitizing certain XML tags that are nested in a parsed PHP document before being used in an 'eval()' call, which may allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary PHP code resulting in a loss of integrity.
