DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been reported in the obSuggest component for
Joomla!, which can be exploited by malicious people to disclose
potentially sensitive information.

Input passed to the "controller" parameter in index.php (when
"option" is set to "com_obsuggest") is not properly verified before
being used to include files. This can be exploited to include
arbitrary files from local resources via directory traversal attacks
and URL-encoded NULL bytes.

The vulnerability is reported in versions prior to 1.8.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 1.8.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
v3n0m
