Any user can execute commands with Web Server privileges (normally nobody) when use an alternate configuration file. Solution ======== Upgrade to a newer album.pl version (at least 6.2) http://perl.bobbitt.ca/album/album62.zip Acknowledgments =============== Vulnerability discovery and advisory by AresU Vendor Response =============== Vendor has been contacted and new fixed version is available.

Mike Bobbitt Member Registered: 04/30/01 Posts: 230 Loc: Ottawa, ON, Canada	Note: at least one site has been hacked through the album.pl vulnerability, so I can't stress enough that users should complete this upgrade. There is also a quick patch available here for those who don't want to tackle an upgrade right away: http://perl.bobbitt.ca/yabbse/index.php?board=2;action=display;threadid=740;start=new;boardseen=1 Cheers _________________________ Mike Bobbitt PERL Stuff

Mike Bobbitt Member Registered: 04/30/01 Posts: 230 Loc: Ottawa, ON, Canada	Ummm. I'm not really familiar with UBB.x's underlying settings. In case there's similar to UBB.thread's, here they are (from the Database section of album.cfg): db_driver=mysql db_name=[dbname] db_hostname=localhost db_user=[username] db_password=[password] db_port=3306 db_membertable=w3t_users db_username=U_LoginName db_passwdfield=U_Password If anyone knows of corrections for UBB.x, I'd gladly add them to the config notes...

Mike Bobbitt Member Registered: 04/30/01 Posts: 230 Loc: Ottawa, ON, Canada	Thanks for the info, I've added it to the "standard" config that comes with album.pl... As for the error, was there a message to go with the line number? That's pretty much smack dab in the middle of DB code, which sounds right I guess... _________________________ Mike Bobbitt PERL Stuff

BUZN_WILDLY Junior Member Registered: 05/24/03 Posts: 19 Loc: Ont.	I've tryed to make that link work, But not having any luck with it! I even altered the line q!album_link! => q!Album!, to album_link => "album" And still doesn't work... and I'm thinking you have to add #Album push(@items, qq(<a href="$vars_config{CGIURL}/album.pl" title="$vars_wordlets_mods{album_link}">$vars_wordlets_mods{album_link}</a>)); Add Under: # Forum Home push(@items, qq(<a href="$ULTIMATEBB" title="$vars_wordlets{forum_acronym}">$vars_wordlets{forum_home_link}</a>)); Would You Have any other Idea's?

Mike Bobbitt Member Registered: 04/30/01 Posts: 230 Loc: Ottawa, ON, Canada	Sorry I haven't replied - I don't get notified on this thread, so I never know when it's active... Do you get anything at all when you add those lines, or is it just the same? V6.3.1.2 has different templates from more recent versions (as I recall) so public_common.pl may look and act a bit differently... _________________________ Mike Bobbitt PERL Stuff

caroth Member Registered: 05/30/01 Posts: 54	The album works great on our forum installed on a Win2k box. The only suggestion I have is to sort the albums by username, not the member number. I realize that is probably hard to do, but many of my members have asked for it. Chris

Mike Bobbitt Member Registered: 04/30/01 Posts: 230 Loc: Ottawa, ON, Canada	V6.3 has been released. ( Download ) New Features You can now create links to photos in other albums. The new "Link" item on the admin menu allows you to create links to existing photos. Only the original photo exists, with links simply pointing to it. Useful for a "favourites" album, without keeping multiple copies of your photos. Local templates now supported. Any template files found in an album directory will automatically be used for that album. New buttons! Added ssi=2 mode, which shows actual photos, not just thumbnails. (Good for use with random/slideshow features.) Added support for YaBB SE 1.5.1+ password protection. Digest::HMAC_MD5 Perl module required. Added ####NAVPREV####, ####NAVUP####, ####NAVNEXT#### and ####NAVJUMP#### tags, for extra granularity with the navigation footer. Updated album_footer.tml to use these tags. Added ####MOVIESIZE#### tag for the upload form, to show the max allowed movie upload size. Added "logout" button for flatfile authentication (type 1). Includes logout_button config item and thmb_album_logout.gif image. The postupload command can now use all regular ####TAGS####. (Such as ####CONFIG=loggedin#### to show the logged in user's name.) Improved cookie deletion (thanks Scouter!) Additional check to prevent bogus config update added. Tuned up album_test.pl. Added new default_linkdir to allow fast linking. Added new "delcookie" function to forcibly delete any album related cookies. New Config Items link_button: Filename of the "Link" button graphic. default_linkdir: When added, clicking on the "link" button will auto create the link in this directory, instead of prompting the user for a destination (not present by default). logout_button: Filename of the "Logout" button graphic db_displaynamefield: Used to define the database field containing a user's display name. Optional. movie_upload_size_limit: Allows admins to specify the max size for uploaded movies, separate from photos. Bug Fixes User edit no longer adds a blank line to the end of the list. Nav "up" link now takes you up to the right page. Album URLs are now properly escaped, allowing characters such as + in the album filenames. Fixed flatfile password carryover problem. Fixed ssi / authentication problem. Fixed a bug where search results weren't displayed properly. Fixed up static HTML to honour local configs. Fixed broken movie links. Files to replace album.pl album_test.pl album_footer.tml album_strings.txt (or appropriate language file) Photo_Album.css New files thmb_album_link.gif Enjoy! P.S. caroth, that's on the to do list, hope to get to it some time. _________________________ Mike Bobbitt PERL Stuff

AllenAyres I type Like navaho Registered: 03/10/00 Posts: 25406 Loc: Texas	Do these errors look familiar? http://www.ubbdev.com/cgi-bin/album.pl And the images, even tho they are in the folder as specified in the config settings aren't being found (config settings say my setting is correct, even tho it's looking for the images in the public pages from a different url - appears to be looking for them in cgi_web and not album_web). _________________________ - Allen - What Drives You?

Felix 10 Enthusiast Registered: 10/10/02 Posts: 391 Loc: Toronto	Allen, the path, in your case is only: cgi-bin/img/ so in the album.cfg would show something like this: Quote: quote: # The path to the directory containing all icons and buttons. This should be relative to album.pl's location, as it is appended to album_web to get the actual URL. img_dir=cgi-bin/img In my case was img_dir=ubb/img because I didnt want to mix the "img" folder in the cgi-bin, it doesnt have to be there. I have a question though: I dont get "Rate picture" and also dont get the Admin options: Delete, Move, Edit etc. Do you know why? Is there a page for Admin settings other than album.cfg file? http://romanianational.com/cgi-bin/album.pl Thank you, Felix
