TITLE:
MySimpleFileUploader File Upload Security Issue

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA37981

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/37981/

DESCRIPTION:
A security issue has been discovered in MySimpleFileUploader, which
can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable
system.

The security issue is caused due to the upload.php script improperly
validating uploaded files. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary
PHP code by uploading a malicious PHP script with multiple
extensions.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires that Apache is
not configured to handle the mime-type for files with an e.g. "sis" or
"sisx" extension.

The security issue is confirmed in version 1.6. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Restrict access to the upload.php script (via e.g. via .htaccess).

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
FormatXFormaT
