Synopsis
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
Cacti has three vulnerabilities that could allow shell command
execution or SQL injection.
Background
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
Cacti is a web-based network graphing and reporting tool.
Affected packages
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 net-analyzer/cacti < 0.8.6i-r1 >=3D 0.8.6i-r1
Description
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
rgod discovered that the Cacti cmd.php and copy_cacti_user.php scripts
do not properly control access to the command shell, and are remotely
accessible by unauthenticated users. 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.
Impact
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
These vulnerabilties can result in the execution of arbitrary shell
commands or information disclosure via crafted SQL queries.
Workaround
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
All Cacti users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=3Dnet-analyzer/cacti-0.8.6i-r1"=
