TITLE:
PHPLinks SQL Injection and Arbitrary Local File Inclusion
Vulnerabilities

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA12738

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/12738/

CRITICAL:
Moderately critical

IMPACT:
Manipulation of data, Exposure of system information, Exposure of
sensitive information

WHERE:
From remote

SOFTWARE:
PHPLinks 2.x
http://secunia.com/product/4010/

DESCRIPTION:
LSS Security Team has discovered two vulnerabilities in PHPLinks,
which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct SQL injection
attacks and execute arbitrary local PHP scripts.

1) Input passed to the "ID" parameter is not properly sanitised
before being used in a SQL query. This can be exploited to manipulate
SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.

2) Input passed to the "show" parameter in "index.php" is not
properly verified, before it is used to include files. This can be
exploited to include arbitrary files from local resources and allows
execution of arbitrary local PHP code.

The vulnerabilities have been confirmed on version 2.1.3.1. Other
versions may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
1) Set "magic_quotes_gpc" to "On".
2) Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.
