  <affected>
    <package name="www-apps/phpwiki" auto="yes" arch="*">
      <unaffected range="ge">1.3.10-r2</unaffected>

  <background>
    <p>
    PhpWiki is an application that creates a web site where anyone can
    edit the pages through HTML forms.
    </p>
  </background>
  <description>
    <p>
    Earlier versions of PhpWiki contain an XML-RPC library that
    improperly handles XML-RPC requests and responses with malformed nested
    tags.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="high">
    <p>
    A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to inject
    arbitrary PHP script code into eval() statements by sending a specially
    crafted XML document to PhpWiki.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All PhpWiki users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=www-apps/phpwiki-1.3.10-r2&quot;</code>
  </resolution>
