TITLE:
Kietu Arbitrary File Inclusion Vulnerability

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA10754

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://www.secunia.com/advisories/10754/

CRITICAL:
Highly critical

IMPACT:
System access

WHERE:
From remote

SOFTWARE:
Kietu 2.x

DESCRIPTION:
Himeur Nourredine has reported a vulnerability in Kietu, allowing
malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.

The problem is that the "kietu[url_hit]" parameter isn't properly
verified in "index.php" before it is used to include the "config.php"
file. This can be exploited to include the "config.php" file from a
local or remote resource.

The vulnerability has been reported in version 3.1. Prior versions
may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Edit the source to ensure that the "kietu[url_hit]" parameter is
verified properly.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Himeur Nourredine
