Synopsis
========
Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in phpBB, the worst of which
may allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML.
Background
==========
phpBB is an Open Source bulletin board package.
Affected packages
=================
——————————————————————-
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
——————————————————————-
1 www-apps/phpBB < 3.1.10 Vulnerable!
——————————————————————-
NOTE: Certain packages are still vulnerable. Users should migrate
to another package if one is available or wait for the
existing packages to be marked stable by their
architecture maintainers.
Description
===========
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in phpBB. Please review
the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
Impact
======
A remote attacker may be able to change settings, inject arbitrary web
script or HTML, or conduct cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks.
Workaround
==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
==========
Gentoo Security support has been discontinued due to phpBB being
dropped to unstable. As such, we recommend that users unmerge phpBB:
# emerge –unmerge “www-apps/phpBB”
NOTE: Users could alternatively upgrade to “>=www-apps/phpBB-3.1.10”,
however, these packages are not currently marked stable.
