w-Agora subscribe_thread.php HTTP response splitting
| wagora-response-splitting (17558) |  Medium Risk |
Description:
w-Agora is vulnerable to an HTTP response splitting attack. A remote attacker could send a specially-crafted request to the subscribe_thread.php script to cause the server to return a split response, which would allow the attacker to perform further attacks, such as Web cache poisoning, cross-site scripting, and possibly obtain sensitive information.
Platforms Affected:
- Marc Druilhe, w-Agora 4.1.6a
Remedy:
Upgrade to the latest CVS versions for subscribe_thread.php3 (1.17 or later), forgot_password.php3 (1.17 or later), include/auth.php (1.45 or later), and list.php3 (1.53 or later), available from the w-agora Web site. See References.
Consequences:
