  <affected>
    <package name="www-apps/phpwebsite" auto="yes" arch="*">
      <unaffected range="ge">0.10.2_rc2</unaffected>

  <background>
    <p>
    phpWebSite is a web site content management system.
    </p>
  </background>
  <description>
    <p>
    phpWebSite uses an XML-RPC library that improperly handles XML-RPC
    requests and responses with malformed nested tags. Furthermore,
    "matrix_killer" reported that phpWebSite is vulnerable to an SQL
    injection attack.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="high">
    <p>
    A malicious remote user could exploit this vulnerability to inject
    arbitrary PHP script code into eval() statements by sending a specially
    crafted XML document, and also inject SQL commands to access the
    underlying database directly.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All phpWebSite users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=www-apps/phpwebsite-0.10.2_rc2&quot;</code>
  </resolution>
