Mambo is a feature-rich dynamic portal engine/content
management tool capable of building sites from several
pages to several thousand. Mambo uses PHP/MySQL and
features a very comprehensive admin manager.

Vulnerability:
--------------------
A remote user can supply a specially crafted URL to
cause the system to display an error message that
discloses the installation path and other data.
Bug exists in "content.php" (Content Component of
mambo)

http://www.example.com/mambo/index.php?option=com_content&task=section&id=1&Itemid=PATH
Solution:
--------------------
There is no vendor-supplied patch for this issue at
this time but we are not advising you to upgrade to
Joomla because Mambo, version 4.5.3, will be released
soon ( by the end of November this year).
4.5.3 represents the new Team’s first consolidation
of bug fixes and includes a number of security
enhancements.
