TITLE:
FreeWebShop.org "lang_file" File Inclusion Vulnerability
SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA34707
VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/34707/
DESCRIPTION:
ahmadbady has discovered a vulnerability in FreeWebShop.org, which
can be exploited by malicious people to disclose sensitive
information.
Input passed to the "lang_file" parameter in
includes/startmodules.inc.php 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.
Successful exploitation requires that "register_globals" is enabled.
The vulnerability is confirmed in version 2.2.9 R2. Other versions
may also be affected.
SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly verified.
Set "register_globals" to "Off".
