Synopsis
========
DokuWiki is vulnerable to shell command injection and Denial of Service
attacks when using ImageMagick.
Background
==========
DokuWiki is a wiki targeted at developer teams, workgroups and small
companies. It does not use a database backend.
Affected packages
=================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 www-apps/dokuwiki < 20060309e >= 20060309e
Description
===========
Input validation flaws have been discovered in the image handling of
fetch.php if ImageMagick is used, which is not the default method.
Impact
======
A remote attacker could exploit the flaws to execute arbitrary shell
commands with the rights of the web server daemon or cause a Denial of
Service.
Workaround
==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
==========
All DokuWiki users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-apps/dokuwiki-20060309e"
