Open redirect vulnerability in Menalto Gallery before 2.2.4 allows remote attackers to redirect users to arbitrary web sites and conduct phishing attacks via a URL in the (1) Core and (2) print modules.
Weakness
The product attempts to access a file based on the filename, but it does not properly prevent that filename from identifying a link or shortcut that resolves to an unintended resource.
Affected Software
| Name | Vendor | Start Version | End Version |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gallery | Menalto | * | 2.2.3 (including) |
| Gallery2 | Ubuntu | dapper | * |
| Gallery2 | Ubuntu | edgy | * |
| Gallery2 | Ubuntu | feisty | * |
| Gallery2 | Ubuntu | gutsy | * |
| Gallery2 | Ubuntu | upstream | * |
Potential Mitigations
- Follow the principle of least privilege when assigning access rights to entities in a software system.
- Denying access to a file can prevent an attacker from replacing that file with a link to a sensitive file. Ensure good compartmentalization in the system to provide protected areas that can be trusted.
