TITLE:
Simple PHP Blog "blog_language" Local File Inclusion

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA19270

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/19270/

CRITICAL:
Moderately critical

IMPACT:
Exposure of sensitive information

WHERE:
From remote

SOFTWARE:
Simple PHP Blog 0.x
http://secunia.com/product/5342/

DESCRIPTION:
rgod has discovered a security issue in Simple PHP Blog, which can be
exploited by malicious people to disclose sensitive information.

Input passed to the "blog_language" parameter in "install05.php"
isn't properly verified, before it is used to include files. This can
be exploited to include arbitrary files from local resources.

Successful exploitation requires that the "install05.php" file has
not been removed after installation and that "magic_quotes_gpc" is
disabled.

The security issue has been confirmed in version 0.4.7.1 and has also
been reported in prior versions.

SOLUTION:
The security issue has been fixed in version 0.4.7.2.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
rgod
