Vulnerability Assessment Summary
DSA-642-1 gallery

Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment

Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in gallery, a web-based
photo album written in PHP4. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures
project identifies the following vulnerabilities:
Jim Paris discovered a cross site scripting vulnerability which
permits code to be inserted by using specially formed URLs.
The upstream developers of gallery have fixed several cases of
possible variable injection that could trick gallery to unintended
actions, e.g. leaking database passwords.
For the stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in
version 1.2.5-8woody3.
For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in
version 1.4.4-pl4-1.
We recommend that you upgrade your gallery package.
