http://secunia.com/advisories/18390/

CRITICAL:
Highly critical

IMPACT:
System access

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
Apache2Triad 1.x
http://secunia.com/product/6776/

DESCRIPTION:
Gammarays has reported a security issue in Apache2Triad, which
potentially can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a
vulnerable system.

The problem is that the PEAR installer Go-PEAR is stored insecurely
in "php/pear/go-pear.php" inside the web root. This can be exploited
to execute arbitrary PHP code by configuring the installer to use a
malicious proxy server when downloading files.

SOLUTION:
Remove the "php/pear/go-pear.php" script. This may affect
functionality.

Use another product.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
