Synopsis
========
Multiple vulnerabilities in the Smarty template engine might allow
remote attackers to execute arbitrary PHP code.

Background
==========
Smarty is a template engine for PHP.

Affected packages
=================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 dev-php/smarty < 2.6.23 >= 2.6.23

Description
===========
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Smarty:

* The vendor reported that the modifier.regex_replace.php plug-in
contains an input sanitation flaw related to the ASCII NUL character
(CVE-2008-1066).

* The vendor reported that the _expand_quoted_text() function in
libs/Smarty_Compiler.class.php contains an input sanitation flaw via
multiple vectors (CVE-2008-4810, CVE-2008-4811).

* Nine:Situations:Group::bookoo reported that the
smarty_function_math() function in libs/plugins/function.math.php
contains input sanitation flaw (CVE-2009-1669).

Impact
======
These issues might allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary PHP
code.

Workaround
==========
There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
==========
All Smarty users should upgrade to an unaffected version:

# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-php/smarty-2.6.23"

NOTE: This is a legacy GLSA. Updates for all affected architectures are
available since June 2, 2009. It is likely that your system is already
no longer affected by this issue.
