Background ========== PEAR-Auth is a PEAR package that provides methods to create a PHP based authentication system. Affected packages ================= ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 dev-php/PEAR-Auth < 1.2.4 >= 1.2.4 Description =========== Matt Van Gundy discovered that PEAR-Auth did not correctly validate data passed to the DB and LDAP containers. Impact ====== A remote attacker could possibly exploit this vulnerability to bypass the authentication mechanism by injecting specially crafted input to the underlying storage containers. Workaround ========== There is no known workaround at this time. Resolution ========== All PEAR-Auth users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-php/PEAR-Auth-1.2.4" References ========== [ 1 ] CVE-2006-0868 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-0868 Availability ============ This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-200603-13.xml Concerns? ========= Security is a primary focus of Gentoo Linux and ensuring the confidentiality and security of our users machines is of utmost importance to us.
