    <p>
    Cacti is vulnerable to a SQL injection attack where an attacker may
    inject SQL into the Username field.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    An attacker could compromise the Cacti service and potentially execute
    programs with the permissions of the user running Cacti. Only systems
    with php_flag magic_quotes_gpc set to Off are vulnerable. By default,
    Gentoo Linux installs PHP with this option set to On.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time. All users are encouraged to
    upgrade to the latest available version of Cacti.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All users should upgrade to the latest available version of Cacti, as
    follows:
