SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/18043/

CRITICAL:
Moderately critical

IMPACT:
Security Bypass, Exposure of system information, Exposure of
sensitive information

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
ezDatabase 2.x
http://secunia.com/product/6532/

DESCRIPTION:
r0t has reported a vulnerability in ezDatabase, which can be
exploited by malicious people to bypass certain security restrictions
and potentially disclose sensitive information.

Input passed to the "p" parameter in "index.php" isn't properly
verified, before it is used to include files. This can be exploited
to include arbitrary PHP scripts from local resources.

This may also be exploited to include arbitrary files. However, this
may be dependent of the PHP configuration.

It is also possible to disclose the full path to "index.php" by
accessing it directly with a malformed "db_id" or "cat_id"
parameter.

The vulnerability has been reported in version 2.1.2 and prior. Other
versions may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
