Package : phpgroupware
Vulnerability : missing filename sanitising, SQL injection
Problem-Type : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID : CAN-2004-0016 CAN-2004-0017
The authors of phpgroupware, a web based groupware system written in
PHP, discovered several vulnerabilities. The Common Vulnerabilities
and Exposures project identifies the following problems:
CAN-2004-0016
In the "calendar" module, "save extension" was not enforced for
holiday files. As a result, server-side php scripts may be placed
in directories that then could be accessed remotely and cause the
webserver to execute those. This was resolved by enforcing the
extension ".txt" for holiday files.
CAN-2004-0017
Some SQL injection problems (non-escaping of values used in SQL
strings) the "calendar" and "infolog" modules.
Additionally, the Debian maintainer adjusted the permissions on world
writable directories that were accidently created by former postinst
during the installation.
For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in
version 0.9.14-0.RC3.2.woody3.
For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in
version 0.9.14.007-4.
We recommend that you upgrade your phpgroupware, phpgroupware-calendar
and phpgroupware-infolog packages.
