Synopsis

An SQL injection vulnerability and a possible identity theft have been discovered in Ampache.

Background

Ampache is a PHP-based tool for managing, updating and playing audio files via a web interface.

Affected packages

Package	Vulnerable	Unaffected	Architecture(s)
www-apps/ampache	< 3.3.3.5	>= 3.3.3.5	All supported architectures

Description

LT discovered that the "match" parameter in albums.php is not properly sanitized before being processed. The Ampache development team also reported an error when handling user sessions.

Impact

A remote attacker could provide malicious input to the application, possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary SQL code. He could also entice a user to open a specially crafted link to steal the user's session.

Workaround

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution

    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-apps/ampache-3.3.3.5"
