Gentoo Linux Security Advisory 200503-2

Gentoo Linux Security Advisory GLSA 200503-02 – It was discovered that phpBB contains a flaw in the session handling code and a path disclosure bug. AnthraX101 discovered that phpBB allows local users to read arbitrary files, if the Enable remote avatars and Enable avatar uploading options are set (CVE-2005-0259). He also found out that incorrect input validation in usercp_avatar.php and usercp_register.php makes phpBB vulnerable to directory traversal attacks, if the Gallery avatars setting is enabled (CVE-2005-0258). Versions less than 2.0.13 are affected.
