| Detailed Description |
The Gallery software is vulnerable to multiple vulnerabilities via the 'X_FORWARDED_FOR' HTTP header. Gallery is a Web-based photo album program written in PHP. Gallery versions 2.0 through 2.0.2 are vulnerable to multiple vulnerabilities as follows:
1) IP Spoofing : Input passed to the 'X_FORWARDED_FOR' header isn't properly sanitized. This can be exploited to spoof the IP address that is logged when adding comments in an album.
2) Cross-Site Scripting : Input passed to the 'getRemoteHostAddress()' function isn't properly sanitized. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected website when a malicious comment is viewed.
3) Security Bypass : Input passed in the session id isn't properly sanitized before being used. This can be exploited to delete arbitrary files that are used by the web server processes.
