DESCRIPTION:
Two vulnerabilities have been reported in Joomla!, which can be
exploited by malicious users to bypass certain security restrictions
and by malicious people to disclose potentially sensitive
information.

1) An error due to the application not properly filtering certain
input can be exploited to disclose certain information via SQL
errors.

2) An unspecified error exists due to the application not properly
performing certain checks.

The vulnerabilities are reported in 2.5.x versions prior to 2.5.5.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 2.5.5.
