Bug 130584 – www-apps/mambo - unvalidated user input in rss component (CVE-2006-195{6|7})

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Security

[Description Carsten Lohrke (RETIRED) 2006-04-20 03:48:45 UTC]

The Script does not properly validate user-supplied input in rss.php.A remote user can supply a specially crafted URL to cause the system to display an error message that discloses the installation Path or force the script to create Tons of superfluous xml files which in some cases result in remote DoS attacks against target.

Apparently this has been fixed in Joomla 1.0.8 (bug 124082), but not in Mambo.

web-apps: not sure there is a fix published for this ?

Hi,

and XSS vuln has also been reported by rgod (http://archives.neohapsis.com/archives/bugtraq/2006-05/0491.html)

i don't fill a new bug beacuse AFAIK, this XSS vuln is still in [upstream] status, the gravity is minor (~4) , and the ebuild is ~arched.

Concerning the RSS vuln, it's CVE-2006-1956 and CVE-2006-1957

[Comment 5 Stuart Herbert (RETIRED) 2006-05-31 00:31:21 UTC]

UPSTREAM have released Mambo 4.5.4 day before yesterday.  I'll snag a copy, and see if it addresses these problems.

Best regards,
Stu

Thx Renat. Closing with no GLSA.
