DESCRIPTION:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in GForge, which can be
exploited by malicious people to conduct SQL injection attacks.
Input passed to various parameters in forum.php,
rss20_newreleases.php, rss20_news.php, rss20_projects.php,
rss_sfnewreleases.php, rss_sfnews.php, and rss_sfprojects.php is not
properly sanitised before being used in SQL queries. This can be
exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.
All scripts are located in the "www/export" directory.
Successful exploitation requires that "register_globals" is enabled.
The vulnerabilities are reported in versions 3.1 to 4.5.19. Other
versions may also be affected.
