SUSE-SA:2005:041: php/pear XML::RPC |
||

Check for the version of the php/pear XML::RPC package Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote host is missing the patch for the advisory SUSE-SA:2005:041 (php/pear XML::RPC). A bug in the PEAR::XML_RPC library permited remote attackers to pass arbitrary PHP code to the eval() function. The updated php packages fix the XML::RPC bug, however several third party PHP packages include a copy of the problematic XML::RPC code itself and might be still vulnerable after the update. Please check their respective websites whether the package is vulnerable. The following projects are known to include the XML::RPC code: - tikiwiki - postnuke - drupal - b2evolution - b2 - phpGroupWare - eGroupware - Serendipity Weblog - phpAdsNew - Max Media Manager This issue is tracked by the Mitre CVE ID CVE-2005-1921. The bug in the SUSE php packages affects SUSE Linux versions from 8.2 up to 9.3, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 and Open Enterprise Server. php4 on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 8 is not affected, since it was not shipping the XML::RPC extension.
