TITLE:
Minis "month" Directory Traversal Vulnerability
SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA13866
VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/13866/
CRITICAL:
Less critical
IMPACT:
Exposure of sensitive information, DoS
WHERE:
From remote
SOFTWARE:
Minis 0.x
http://secunia.com/product/4533/
DESCRIPTION:
Madelman has reported a vulnerability in Minis, which can be
exploited by malicious people to disclose sensitive information and
cause a DoS (Denial of Service).
Input passed to the "month" parameter in "minis.php" is not properly
sanitised, before it used to view files. This can be exploited to
view arbitrary files with the ".log" file extension from local
resources.
This can further be exploited to cause a script to enter an infinite
loop by referencing a file, which the web server does not have
permission to open.
The vulnerability has been reported in version 0.2.1. Other versions
may also be affected.
SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.
PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Madelman
