Description:
Gammarays has reported a security issue in Apache2Triad, which potentially can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.
The problem is that the PEAR installer Go-PEAR is stored insecurely in "php/pear/go-pear.php" inside the web root. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary PHP code by configuring the installer to use a malicious proxy server when downloading files.
Solution:
Upgrade to version 1.4.4.
Provided and/or discovered by:
Gammarays
Changelog:
2006-02-20: Updated "Solution" section.
