Synopsis
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

A bug in the TWiki search function allows an attacker to execute
arbitrary commands with the permissions of the user running TWiki.

Background
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

TWiki is a Web-based groupware tool based around the concept of wiki
pages that can be edited by anybody with a Web browser.

Affected packages
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

    -------------------------------------------------------------------
     Package         /   Vulnerable   /                     Unaffected
    -------------------------------------------------------------------
  1  www-apps/twiki      < 20040902                       >=3D 20040902=20

Description
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

The TWiki search function, which uses a shell command executed via the
Perl backtick operator, does not properly escape shell metacharacters
in the user-provided search string.

Impact
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

An attacker can insert malicious commands into a search request,
allowing the execution of arbitrary commands with the privileges of the
user running TWiki (usually the Web server user).

Workaround
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

All TWiki users should upgrade to the latest version:

    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=3Dwww-apps/twiki-20040902"
