TITLE:
Xinha Configuration Variable Overwrite Vulnerabilities
SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA39782
VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/39782/
DESCRIPTION:
Stefan Esser has discovered some vulnerabilities in Xinha, which can
be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.
The vulnerabilities are caused due to errors in the processing of
configuration variables e.g. within config.inc.php for the
"ImageManager" and the "ExtendedFileManager" plugins. These can be
exploited to overwrite certain configuration variables and e.g.
upload and execute arbitrary PHP code to an affected system.
The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 0.95. Other versions may
also be affected.
SOLUTION:
Restrict network access to the application to trusted users (e.g. via
an .htaccess file).
