TITLE:
OSSIM Multiple Vulnerabilities

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA38969

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/38969/

DESCRIPTION:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in OSSIM, which can be
exploited by malicious users to compromise a vulnerable system and by
malicious people to disclose sensitive information.

1) Input passed via the "file" parameter to repository/download.php
is not properly verified before being used. This can be exploited to
download arbitrary local files from an affected system via directory
traversal sequences.

2) The script repository/repository_attachment.php does not properly
validate the extension of files uploaded to a folder within the web
root. This can be exploited to upload files with an arbitrary
extension and e.g. execute arbitrary PHP code.

3) Input passed via the "what" parameter to sem/storage_graphs.php,
sem/storage_graphs2.php, 
sem/storage_graphs3.php, and sem/storage_graphs4.php is not properly
sanitised before being used on the command line. This can be
exploited to inject and execute arbitrary commands.

Successful exploitation of vulnerabilities #2 and #3 requires
authentication.

The vulnerabilities are reported in version 2.2. Prior versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 2.2.1.
