CRLF injection vulnerability in Cacti 0.8.7 before 0.8.7b and 0.8.6 before 0.8.6k, when running on older PHP interpreters, allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary HTTP headers and conduct HTTP response splitting attacks via unspecified vectors.

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200803-18 (Cacti: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    The following inputs are not properly sanitized before being processed:
    'view_type' parameter in the file graph.php, 'filter' parameter     in the file graph_view.php, 'action' and 'login_username' parameters in     the file index.php (CVE-2008-0783).
    'local_graph_id' parameter in the file graph.php     (CVE-2008-0784).
    'graph_list' parameter in the file graph_view.php, 'leaf_id' and     'id' parameters in the file tree.php, 'local_graph_id' in the file     graph_xport.php (CVE-2008-0785).
    Furthermore, CRLF injection attack are possible via unspecified vectors     (CVE-2008-0786).
  Impact :

    A remote attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities, leading to path     disclosure, Cross-Site Scripting attacks, SQL injection, and HTTP     response splitting.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.
