Limbo CMS sql.php classes_dir Parameter Remote File Inclusion

medium Nessus Plugin ID 21308

Language:

Synopsis

The remote web server contains a PHP script that is affected by a remote file include issue.

Description

The remote host is running Limbo CMS, a content-management system written in PHP.

The version of Limbo CMS installed on the remote host fails to sanitize user-supplied input to the 'classes_dir' parameter of the 'classes/adodbt/sql.php' script before using it in PHP 'include_once()' functions. Provided PHP's 'register_globals' setting is enabled, an unauthenticated attacker may be able to exploit this issue to view arbitrary files on the remote host or to execute arbitrary PHP code, possibly taken from third-party hosts.

Solution

Apply Cumulative Fix 7a or patch the affected script as described in the bug report.
