Synopsis
========

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Composer, the worst of
which can lead to arbitrary code execution.

Background
==========

Composer is a dependency manager for the PHP programming language.

Affected packages
=================

Package           Vulnerable    Unaffected
----------------  ------------  ------------
dev-php/composer  <= 9999       Vulnerable!

Description
===========

Integrators using Composer code to call `VcsDriver::getFileContent` can
have a code injection vulnerability if the user can control the `$file`
or `$identifier` argument. This leads to a vulnerability on
packagist.org for example where the composer.json's `readme` field can
be used as a vector for injecting parameters into hg/Mercurial via the
`$file` argument, or git via the `$identifier` argument if you allow
arbitrary data there (Packagist does not, but maybe other integrators
do). Composer itself should not be affected by the vulnerability as it
does not call `getFileContent` with arbitrary data into
`$file`/`$identifier`.

Impact
======

Please review the referenced CVE identifiers for details.

Workaround
==========

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
==========

Gentoo has discontinued support for composer and the package should be
removed:

  # emerge --sync
  # emerge --ask --verbose  --depclean "dev-php/composer"
