TITLE:
Invision Power Board Multiple Vulnerabilities

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA31683

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/31683/

CRITICAL:
Moderately critical

IMPACT:
Hijacking, Manipulation of data, Exposure of sensitive information,
System access

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
Invision Power Board 2.x
http://secunia.com/product/3705/

DESCRIPTION:
DarkFig has reported some vulnerabilities in Invision Power Board
(IP.Board), which can be exploited by malicious users to disclose
sensitive information and compromise a vulnerable system, and by
malicious people to conduct SQL injection attacks.

1) Input passed to the "name" parameter through index.php to
action_public/xmlout.php (when "act" is set to "xmlout" and "do" to
"check-display-name") is not properly sanitised before being used in
SQL queries. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by
injecting arbitrary SQL code.

2) The problem is that the administrator's session ID is included in
the "Referer" HTTP header when selecting "Switch between standard and
rich text editor" and the user has configured a picture URL. This can
potentially be exploited to hijack the administrator's session.

3) Input passed as language data is not properly sanitised before
being stored. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary PHP code,
when e.g. importing a language file.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires that the
victim has valid administrator credentials.

The vulnerabilities are reported in all 2.2.x versions and all 2.3.x
versions to and including 2.3.5.

SOLUTION:
Apply the vendor's official patch, which fixes vulnerability #1:
http://forums.invisionpower.com/index.php?showtopic=276512

Do not select "Switch between standard and rich text editor". Do not
import untrusted language files.
