TITLE:
dotProject File Inclusion and Information Disclosure Vulnerabilities

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA18879

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/18879/

CRITICAL:
Highly critical

IMPACT:
Exposure of system information, System access

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
dotProject 2.x
http://secunia.com/product/8083/

DESCRIPTION:
Robin Verton has discovered some vulnerabilities in dotProject, which
can be exploited by malicious people to disclose certain system
information and compromise a vulnerable system.

1) Input passed to the "baseDir" parameter in
"/includes/db_adodb.php", "/includes/db_connect.php",
"/includes/session.php", "/modules/admin/vw_usr_roles.php",
"/modules/public/calendar.php", and "/modules/public/date_format.php"
isn't properly verified, before it is used to include files. This can
be exploited to include arbitrary files from external and local
resources.

Successful exploitation requires that "register_globals" is enabled.

2) Input passed to the "dPconfig[root_dir]" parameter in
"/modules/projects/gantt.php", "/modules/projects/gantt2.php",
"/modules/projects/vw_files.php", and "/modules/tasks/gantt.php"
isn't properly verified, before it is used to include files. This can
be exploited to include arbitrary files from external and local
resources.

Successful exploitation requires that "register_globals" is enabled.

3) It is possible to disclose system configuration information by
accessing "/docs/phpinfo.php" and "/docs/check.php".

The vulnerabilities have been confirmed in version 2.0.1. Other
versions may also be affected.

Note: It is also possible to disclose path information when PHP
"display_errors" is enabled  by accessing files in the /db/ directory
with certain parameters.

SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised or
set "register_globals" to "Off", and remove files from the "/docs"
directory.
