Description

Name: CVE-2010-1916 URL:
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2009-1916 Assigned:
20100511 Reference: MISC:
http://www.php-security.org/2010/05/10/mops-2010-019-serendipity-wysiw yg-editor-plugin-configuration-injection-vulnerability/index.html Reference: MISC:
http://www.php-security.org/2010/05/10/mops-2010-020-xinha-wysiwyg-plu gin-configuration-injection-vulnerability/index.html The dynamic configuration feature in Xinha WYSIWYG editor 0.96 Beta 2 and earlier, as used in Serendipity 1.5.2 and earlier, allows remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions and modify the configuration of arbitrary plugins via (1) crafted backend_config_secret_key_location and backend_config_hash parameters that are used in a SHA1 hash of a shared secret that can be known or externally influenced, which are not properly handled by the 'Deprecated config passing' feature; or (2) crafted backend_data and backend_data[key_location] variables, which are not properly handled by the xinha_read_passed_data function.
NOTE: this can be leveraged to upload and possibly execute arbitrary files via config.inc.php in the ImageManager plugin.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Update the affected xinha package.
