Virtual War "vwar_root" File Inclusion Vulnerabilities
SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:

http://secunia.com/advisories/19524/
CRITICAL:
Highly critical
IMPACT:
System access
WHERE:
From remote
SOFTWARE:
Virtual War 1.x
http://secunia.com/product/9014/
DESCRIPTION:
Some vulnerabilities have been discovered in Virtual War, which can
be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.
1) Input passed to the "vwar_root" parameter in
"includes/get_header.php" isn't properly verified, before it is used
to include files. This can be exploited to include arbitrary files
from external and local resources.
Successful exploitation requires that "register_globals" is enabled.
2) Input passed to the "vwar_root" parameter in
"includes/functions_common.php" and "includes/functions_front.php"
isn't properly verified, before it is used to include files. This can
be exploited to include arbitrary files from external and local
resources.
Successful exploitation requires that "register_globals" is enabled.
The vulnerabilities have been confirmed in version 1.5.0 R12. Other
versions may also be affected.
SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly verified.
Set "register_globals" to "Off".
