Gallery main.php g2_itemId Parameter Traversal Arbitrary File Access

medium Nessus Plugin ID 20015

Language:

Synopsis

The remote web server contains a PHP script that is affected by a directory traversal flaw.

Description

The version of Gallery hosted on the remote web server fails to sanitize user-supplied input to the 'g2_itemId' parameter of the 'main.php' script before using it to read cached files. If PHP's 'display_errors' setting is enabled, an attacker can exploit this flaw to read arbitrary files on the remote host, subject to the privileges of the web server user id.

Solution

Upgrade to Gallery 2.0.1 or later.
