This allows SQL injection via cmd.php and copy_cacti_user.php URLs. Further, the results from the injected SQL query are not properly sanitized before being passed to a command shell. The vulnerabilities require that the "register_argc_argv" option is enabled, which is the Gentoo default. Also, a number of similar problems in other scripts were reported. </p> </description> <impact type="high"> <p> These vulnerabilties can result in the execution of arbitrary shell commands or information disclosure via crafted SQL queries. </p> </impact> <workaround> <p> There is no known workaround at this time. </p> </workaround> <resolution> <p> All Cacti users should upgrade to the latest version: </p> <code> # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-analyzer/cacti-0.8.6i-r1"</code> </resolution> <references> <uri link="https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-6799">CVE-2006-6799</uri> </references> <metadata tag="requester" timestamp="2007-01-12T22:58:24Z"> falco </metadata> <metadata tag="submitter" timestamp="2007-01-16T02:39:11Z"> aetius </metadata> <metadata tag="bugReady" timestamp="2007-01-17T22:17:59Z"> falco </metadata> </glsa>
