e107 "a_name" SQL Injection Vulnerability

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/17237/

CRITICAL:
Highly critical

IMPACT:
Security Bypass, Manipulation of data, System access

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
e107 0.x
http://secunia.com/product/1927/

DESCRIPTION:
rgod has reported a vulnerability in e107, which can be exploited by
malicious people to conduct SQL injection attacks and compromise a
vulnerable system.

Input passed to the "a_name" parameter in "resetcore.php" isn't
properly sanitised before being used in a SQL query. This can be
exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.

This can further be exploited to bypass the authentication process
and modify sensitive core settings (e.g. to allow upload and
execution of arbitrary PHP scripts).

Successful exploitation requires that "magic_quotes_gpc" is
disabled.

The vulnerability has been reported in versions 0.617, 0.6171, and
0.6172. Other versions may also be affected.

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

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
