Package : gallery2
Vulnerability : programming error

Debian-specific: no
CVE ID : CVE-2007-4650
Nicklous Roberts discovered that the Reupload module of Gallery 2, a web
based photo management application, allowed unauthorized users to edit
Gallery's data file.
The oldstable distribution (sarge) does not contain a gallery2 package.
The previous gallery package is not affected by this vulnerability.
For the stable distribution (etch) this problem has been fixed in
version 2.1.2-2.0.etch.1.

We recommend that you upgrade your gallery2 package.
