TITLE:
Coppermine Photo Gallery "add_hit()" SQL Injection

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA20597

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/20597/

CRITICAL:
Moderately critical

IMPACT:
Manipulation of data

WHERE:
From remote

SOFTWARE:
Coppermine Photo Gallery 1.x
http://secunia.com/product/1427/

DESCRIPTION:
imei addmimistrator has discovered two vulnerabilities in Coppermine
Photo Gallery, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct
SQL injection attacks.

Input passed to the "referer" and "user-agent" HTTP headers isn't
properly sanitised before being used in a SQL query in the
"add_hit()" function. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries
by injecting arbitrary SQL code.

Successful exploitation requires that "magic_quotes_gpc" is disabled
and that the "Keep detailed hit statistics" setting is enabled (not
enabled by default).

The vulnerabilities have been confirmed in version 1.4.8. Other
versions may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.

Disable the "Keep detailed hit statistics" setting.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
