Synopsis
========

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in TikiWiki, possibly
resulting in the remote execution of arbitrary code.

Background
==========

TikiWiki is an open source content management system written in PHP.

Affected packages
=================

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 www-apps/tikiwiki lt; 1.9.8.3 gt;= 1.9.8.3

Description
===========

Stefan Esser reported that a previous vulnerability (CVE-2007-5423,
GLSA 200710-21) was not properly fixed in TikiWiki 1.9.8.1
(CVE-2007-5682). The TikiWiki development team also added several
checks to avoid file inclusion.

Impact
======

A remote attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities to inject
arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application.

Workaround
==========

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
==========

# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "gt;=www-apps/tikiwiki-1.9.8.3"
