VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/38773/
DESCRIPTION:
A security issue has been discovered in Uploadify, which can be
exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.
The security issue is caused due to the uploadify.php script allowing
the upload of files with arbitrary extensions to a folder inside the
webroot. This can be exploited to upload arbitrary files inside the
webroot and e.g. execute arbitrary PHP code.
The security issue is confirmed in version 2.1.0. Other versions may
also be affected.
SOLUTION:
Restrict access to the uploadify.php script (e.g. via .htaccess).
