GLSA-200606-16 : DokuWiki: PHP code injection

high Nessus Plugin ID 21709

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-200606-16 (DokuWiki: PHP code injection)

 Stefan Esser discovered that the DokuWiki spell checker fails to properly sanitize PHP's 'complex curly syntax'.
 Impact :

 A unauthenticated remote attacker may execute arbitrary PHP commands - and thus possibly arbitrary system commands - with the permissions of the user running the webserver that serves DokuWiki pages.
 Workaround :

 There is no known workaround at this time.

Solution

All DokuWiki users should upgrade to the latest version:
 # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose '>=www-apps/dokuwiki-20060309-r1'
