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"
