+ <title>PEAR::MDB2: Information disclosure</title>
+ <synopsis>
+ A vulnerability when handling database input in PEAR::MDB2 allows remote
+ attackers to obtain sensitive information.
+ </synopsis>

+ <affected>
+ <package name="dev-php/PEAR-MDB2" auto="yes" arch="*">
+ <unaffected range="ge">2.5.0_alpha1</unaffected>
+ <vulnerable range="lt">2.5.0_alpha1</vulnerable>
+ </package>
+ </affected>
+ <background>
+ <p>
+ PEAR::MDB2 is a database abstraction layer for PHP aimed to provide a
+ common API for all supported relational database management systems. A
+ LOB ("large object") is a database field holding binary data.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ priyadi discovered that the request to store a URL string as a LOB is
+ treated as a request to retrieve and store the contents of the URL.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ If an application using PEAR::MDB2 allows input of LOB values via a web
+ form, remote attackers could use the application as an indirect proxy
+ or obtain sensitive information, including "file://" URLs local to the
+ web server.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ As a workaround, manually filter input before storing it as a LOB in
+ PEAR::MDB2.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All PEAR::MDB2 users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=dev-php/PEAR-MDB2-2.5.0_alpha1"</code>
