Maia Mailguard login.php lang Parameter Local File Inclusion

medium Nessus Plugin ID 25673

Language:

Synopsis

The remote web server contains a PHP script that is susceptible to a local file include attack.

Description

The remote host is running Maia Mailguard, a spam and virus management system written in PHP.

The version of Maia Mailguard installed on the remote host fails to sanitize user input to the 'lang' parameter before using it to include PHP code in 'login.php'. Regardless of PHP's 'register_globals' setting, an unauthenticated, remote attacker may be able to exploit this issue to view arbitrary files or to execute arbitrary PHP code on the remote host, subject to the privileges of the web server user id.

Solution

Apply the patch from Changeset 1184.
