Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in gallery, a web-based photo album written in PHP4. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following vulnerabilities:

• CVE-NOMATCH

  The upstream developers of gallery have fixed several cases of possible variable injection that could trick gallery to unintended actions, e.g. leaking database passwords.
