  <background>
    <p>
    TikiWiki is an open source content management system written in PHP.
    </p>
  </background>
  <description>
    <p>
    In numerous files TikiWiki provides an empty sort_mode parameter,
    causing TikiWiki to display additional information, including database
    authentication credentials, in certain error messages. TikiWiki also
    improperly sanitizes the "url" request variable sent to
    tiki-featured_link.php.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    An attacker could cause a database error in various pages of a TikiWiki
    instance by providing an empty sort_mode request variable, and gain
    unauthorized access to credentials of the MySQL databases used by
    TikiWiki. An attacker could also entice a user to browse to a specially
    crafted URL that could run scripts in the scope of the user's browser.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All TikiWiki users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=www-apps/tikiwiki-1.9.6&quot;</code>
  </resolution>
