TITLE:
METAjour "system_path" Parameter File Inclusion Vulnerabilities

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA20404

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/20404/

CRITICAL:
Highly critical

IMPACT:
System access

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
METAjour 2.x
http://secunia.com/product/10275/

DESCRIPTION:
Kacper has discovered some vulnerabilities in METAjour, which can be
exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.

Input passed to the "system_path" parameter in various scripts 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.

The vulnerabilities have been confirmed in version 2.1. Other
versions may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Set "register_globals" to "Off" for this application (e.g. with a
.htaccess file).

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
