Synopsis

There is a vulnerability in the Gallery photo album software which may allow an attacker to gain administrator privileges within Gallery.

Background

Description

There is a vulnerability in the Gallery photo album software which may allow an attacker to gain administrator privileges within Gallery. A Gallery administrator has full access to all albums and photos on the server, thus attackers may add or delete photos at will.

Workaround

There is no known workaround at this time. All users are encouraged to upgrade to the latest available version.
