Description Luke Macken (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-11-02 16:47:36 UTC
Jim Paris discovered a few security problems in Gallery which have been 
addressed in this security release. The primary problem is a cross site 
scripting vulnerability which allows code to be inserted into a Gallery 
by using specially formed URLs. This code then appears to be part of the 
Gallery.

No risk is posed to the webserver-itself or any non-Gallery data, but a 
Gallery install could be compromised using appropriate code.

All Gallery users are very strongly urged to upgrade to 1.4.4-pl3 
immediately, which fixes this serious problem and will secure your system.

gallery-1.4.4_p3.ebuild

This is based on the ebuild I did for 2.0_alpha3.

It's pretty much the same as 1.4.4_p2 with the additions of imagemagick use
flag, and better support for virtual hosts.
Comment 3 Luke Macken (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-11-03 12:26:24 UTC
EDIT: This release is a replacement for 1.4.4-pl3 which had an issue discovered shortly after release.

Jim Paris discovered a few security problems in Gallery which have been addressed in 1.4.4-pl4. The primary problem is a cross site scripting vulnerability which allows code to be inserted into a Gallery by using specially formed URLs. This code then appears to be part of the Gallery.

No risk is posed to the webserver-itself or any non-Gallery data, but a Gallery install could be compromised using appropriate code.

All Gallery users are very strongly urged to upgrade to 1.4.4-pl4 immediately, which fixes this serious problem and will secure your system.

===============================

web-apps,

please bump to 1.4.4-pl4 ;)
