lib/rrd.php in Cacti 0.8.7g, 0.8.8b, and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in unspecified parameters.

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201509-03 (Cacti: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in cacti. Please review       the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
  Impact :

    A remote attacker could possibly execute arbitrary code with the       privileges of the process, or cause a Denial of Service condition.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

According to its self-reported version number, the Cacti application running on the remote web server is prior to version 0.8.8c. It is, therefore, potentially affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - Multiple XSS vulnerabilities exist in the 'step'     parameter to 'install/index.php' and the 'id'     parameter in 'cacti/host.php'. (CVE-2013-5588)

  - A SQL injection vulnerability in the 'id' parameter to     'cacti/host.php' could allow remote attackers to inject     arbitrary SQL commands. (CVE-2013-5589)

  - An XSS vulnerability exists via unspecified vectors to     'cdef.php'. (CVE-2014-2326)

  - A XSRF vulnerability exists that allows remote attackers     to hijack the authentication of users for unspecified     commands. (CVE-2014-2327)

  - A flaw exists in 'lib/graph_export.php' that allows     remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary commands     via shell metacharacters in unspecified vectors.
    (CVE-2014-2328)

  - Multiple SQL injection vulnerabilities exist in     'graph_xport.php' which allow remote attackers to inject     arbitrary SQL commands.  (CVE-2014-2708)

  - Improper escaping of shell metacharacters in unspecified     parameters allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary     commands. (CVE-2014-2709)

  - Multiple XSS vulnerabilities exist that allow attackers     to inject arbitrary script data using the 'drp_action',     'graph_template_input_id', and 'graph_template_id'     parameters to various PHP scripts. (CVE-2014-4002)

  - A XSS vulnerability exists in 'data_sources.php' which     allows a remote, authenticated user with console access     to inject arbitrary script data via the 'name_cache'     parameter in a ds_edit action. (CVE-2014-5025)

  - Multiple XSS vulnerabilities exists that allow attackers     to inject arbitrary script data via 'Graph Tree Title',     'CDEF Name', 'Data Input Method Name', 'Host Templates     Name', 'Data Source Title', 'Graph Title', or 'Graph     Template Name' when carried out under delete, edit, or     duplicate actions. (CVE-2014-5026)

Cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in Cacti 0.8.7g, 0.8.8b, and earlier allows remote attackers to hijack the authentication of users for unspecified commands, as demonstrated by requests that (1) modify binary files, (2) modify configurations, or (3) add arbitrary users.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in cdef.php in Cacti 0.8.7g, 0.8.8b, and earlier allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via unspecified vectors.

lib/rrd.php in Cacti 0.8.7g, 0.8.8b, and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in unspecified parameters.

Multiple SQL injection vulnerabilities in graph_xport.php in Cacti 0.8.7g, 0.8.8b, and earlier allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the (1) graph_start, (2) graph_end, (3) graph_height, (4) graph_width, (5) graph_nolegend, (6) print_source, (7) local_graph_id, or (8) rra_id parameter.

lib/graph_export.php in Cacti 0.8.7g, 0.8.8b, and earlier allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in unspecified vectors.

Multiple security issues (cross-site scripting, cross-site request forgery, SQL injections, missing input sanitising) have been found in Cacti, a web frontend for RRDTool.

cacti was patched to fix several security issues :

  - CVE-2013-5588: XSS injection vulnerability

  - CVE-2013-5589: SQL injection vulnerability

  - CVE-2014-2326: XSS injection vulnerability

  - CVE-2014-2328: Remote Command Execution Vulnerability

  - CVE-2014-2708: SQL Injection Vulnerability

  - CVE-2014-2709: Remote Command Execution Vulnerability

cacti-spine was updated to 0.8.8b to fix the following issue :

  - bug: set appropriate mysql 5.5+ timeouts

Patches for four CVEs. This update fixes SQL injection, shell escaping issues, a stored XSS attack, and use of exec-like function calls without safety checks allowing arbitrary command execution.
