 desc = 'The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200508-18
(PhpWiki: Arbitrary command execution through XML-RPC)


    Earlier versions of PhpWiki contain an XML-RPC library that
    improperly handles XML-RPC requests and responses with malformed nested
    tags.
  
Impact

    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.
  
Workaround

    There is no known workaround at this time.
  
References:
    http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2005-2498


Solution: 
    All PhpWiki users should upgrade to the latest version:
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-apps/phpwiki-1.3.10-r2"
  

Risk factor : High
