Multiple security flaws detected in Debian gallery necessitate immediate patching. Update addresses cross-site scripting vulnerabilities.
Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in gallery, a web-based photo album written in PHP4.

Summary


Jim Paris discovered a cross site scripting vulnerability which
allows code to be inserted by using specially formed URLs.

CVE-NOMATCH

The upstream developers of gallery have fixed several cases of
possible variable injection that could trick gallery to unintended
actions, e.g. leaking database passwords.

For the stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in
version 1.2.5-8woody3.

For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in
version 1.4.4-pl4-1.
