From the Gentoo advisory:
* rgod reported that data sent to general/sendpassword.php via the
loginForm parameter is not properly sanitized before being used in an
SQL statement (CVE-2006-1495).
* Christian Hoffmann of Gentoo Security discovered multiple
vulnerabilites where input is insufficiently sanitized before being
used in an SQL statement, for instance in general/login.php via the
loginForm parameter. (CVE-2008-4303).
* Christian Hoffmann also found out that the variable
$SSL_CLIENT_CERT in general/login.php is not properly sanitized
before being used in a shell command. (CVE-2008-4304).
* User-supplied data to installation/setup.php is not checked before
being written to include/settings.php which is executed later. This
issue was reported by Christian Hoffmann as well (CVE-2008-4305).
These vulnerabilities enable remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL
statements and PHP code. NOTE: Some of the SQL injection
vulnerabilities require the php.ini option "magic_quotes_gpc" to be
disabled. Furthermore, an attacker might be able to execute arbitrary
shell commands if "register_globals" is enabled, "magic_quotes_gpc" is
disabled, the PHP OpenSSL extension is not installed or loaded and the
file "installation/setup.php" has not been deleted after installation.
