(Gallery 1.4.1 and below remote exploit vulnerability)

    Starting in the 1.3.1 release, Gallery includes code to simulate the behaviour
    of the PHP 'register_globals' variable in environments where that setting
    is disabled.  It is simulated by extracting the values of the various
    $HTTP_ global variables into the global namespace.
  
Impact :

    A crafted URL such as
    http://example.com/gallery/init.php?HTTP_POST_VARS=xxx  causes the
    'register_globals' simulation code to overwrite the $HTTP_POST_VARS which,
    when it is extracted, will deliver the given payload. If the
    payload compromises $GALLERY_BASEDIR then the malicious user can perform a
    PHP injection exploit and gain remote access to the webserver with PHP
    user UID access rights.
  
Workaround :

    The workaround for the vulnerability is to replace init.php and
    setup/init.php with the files in the following ZIP file:
    http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/gallery/patch_1.4.1-to-1.4.1-pl1.zip?download"
