Title: Gallery Insecure File Permissions Vulnerability
Severity: MODERATE
Description:
Gallery is a web based photo album written using PHP. Gallery is used to create and maintain albums of photos via a web-based interface.
A problem has been reported in the Gallery application. When creating 'temp' and 'albums' directories and managing image files, Gallery uses unsafe file permissions. Specifically, Gallery creates these folders with the same group and owner permissions of the web server.
As a result anyone who may have access to local web server resources may gain access to other users' Gallery albums.
This vulnerability could lead to local users obtaining unauthorized access to sensitive files by causing the web server to execute a malicious script.
This vulnerability was reported for Gallery version 1.3.3. It is not known if earlier versions are affected by this vulnerability.
Affected Products:
- Bharat Mediratta Gallery 1.3.3
