In accordance with our security policy, we are releasing today symfony
1.1.4 to fix a security issue that has been reported by a symfony user
earlier today. This post contains the description of the vulnerability
and the description of the changes we have made to fix it. The affected
symfony versions are all symfony 1.1 releases and the 1.2 branch.
Description of the vulnerability
--------------------------------
The validation sub-framework allows the developer to embed the user
submitted value in the error messages. If you use the submitted value in
some of your error messages or if you use the default error messages
provided by some built-in validators (see the list below), you are
vulnerable because symfony will not escape the value for you.
The following built-in validators are affected because they embed the
submitted values in some of their default error messages:
* sfValidatorDate
* sfValidatorFile
* sfValidatorInteger
* sfValidatorNumber
* sfValidatorString
* sfValidatorTime
Resolution
----------
As of symfony 1.1.4, we have changed the getArguments() method of the
sfValidatorError class to escape the error messages. Here is the
modified version of this method:
[php]
public function getArguments($raw = false)
{
if ($raw)
{
return $this->arguments;
}
$arguments = array();
foreach ($this->arguments as $key => $value)
{
if (is_array($value))
{
continue;
}
$arguments["%$key%"] = htmlspecialchars($value, ENT_QUOTES,
sfValidatorBase::getCharset());
}
return $arguments;
}
The fix has been applied to the symfony 1.1 (changeset 11932) and 1.2
(changeset 11933) branches. You can download the patch for symfony 1.1
or symfony 1.2 in the symfony trac.
Every symfony user is encouraged to upgrade as soon as possible.
