GLSA-200601-13 : Gallery: XSS vulnerability

medium Nessus Plugin ID 20815

Synopsis

The remote Gentoo host is missing one or more security-related patches.

Description

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200601-13 (Gallery: XSS vulnerability)

 Peter Schumacher discovered that Gallery fails to sanitize the fullname set by users, possibly leading to a cross-site scripting vulnerability.
 Impact :

 By setting a specially crafted fullname, an attacker can inject and execute script code in the victim's browser window and potentially compromise the user's gallery.
 Workaround :

 There is no known workaround at this time.

Solution

All Gallery users should upgrade to the latest version:
 # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose '>=www-apps/gallery-1.5.2' Note: Users with the vhosts USE flag set should manually use webapp-config to finalize the update.
