Background ========== The phpDocumentor package provides automatic documenting of PHP API directly from the source. Affected packages ================= ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 dev-php/PEAR-PhpDocumentor < 1.4.3-r1 >= 1.4.3-r1 Description =========== phpDocumentor bundles Smarty with the modifier.regex_replace.php plug-in which does not properly sanitize input related to the ASCII NUL character in a search string. Impact ====== A remote attacker could call arbitrary PHP functions via templates. Workaround ========== There is no known workaround at this time. Resolution ========== All phpDocumentor users should upgrade to the latest stable version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot -v ">=dev-php/PEAR-PhpDocumentor-1.4.3-r1" NOTE: This is a legacy GLSA. Updates for all affected architectures are available since February 12, 2011. It is likely that your system is already no longer affected by this issue.
