    descriptionThe version of Gallery hosted on the remote web server is affected by an arbitrary command execution vulnerability. This could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the remote host by uploading a file containing arbitrary PHP code. When the temp directory is web accessible, the attacker has a 30 second window to access the script and execute the remote code before the file is deleted. Note that in order to exploit this flaw, an attacker would require the privileges to upload files to a remote photo album.

        The upload handling code in Gallery places uploaded files in a
        temporary directory. After 30 seconds, these files are deleted if they
        are not valid images. However, since the file exists for 30 seconds, a
        carefully crafted script could be initiated by the remote attacker

        be located inside the webroot and an attacker needs to have upload
        rights either as an authenticated user or via 'EVERYBODY'.
      
    Impact :
    
        An attacker could run arbitrary code as the user running PHP.
      
    Workaround :
    
        There are several workarounds to this vulnerability:
        Make sure that your temporary directory is not contained in the
        webroot; by default it is located outside the webroot.
        Disable upload rights to all albums for 'EVERYBODY'; upload is
        disabled by default.
        Disable debug and dev mode; these settings are disabled by
        default.
        Disable allow_url_fopen in php.ini."
