Secure testing team - Jan 2009 - Bug#513517: phpicalendar: Several vulnarbilities

Package: phpicalendar
Severity: grave
Tags: security
Justification: user security hole

Hi,
the following CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) ids were
published for phpicalendar.

CVE-2008-5840[0]:
| PHP iCalendar 2.24 and earlier allows remote attackers to bypass
| authentication by setting the phpicalendar and phpicalendar_login
| cookies to 1.

CVE-2008-5967[1]:
| admin/index.php in PHP iCalendar 2.3.4, 2.24, and earlier does not
| require administrative authentication for an addupdate action, which
| allows remote attackers to upload a calendar (aka .ics) file with
| arbitrary content to the calendars/ directory outside the web root.

CVE-2008-5968[2]:
| Directory traversal vulnerability in print.php in PHP iCalendar 2.24
| and earlier allows remote attackers to include and execute arbitrary
| local files via a .. (dot dot) in the cookie_language parameter in a
| phpicalendar_* cookie, a different vector than CVE-2006-1292.

These issues read like common issues in php apps and I am wondering,
whether phpicalendar is ready for a stable debian release. I think it
should receive an audit first.

If you fix the vulnerabilities please also make sure to include the
CVE ids in your changelog entry.

Cheers
Steffen
