TITLE:
PEAR MDB2 LOB URL Handling Information Disclosure

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA27572

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/27572/

CRITICAL:
Less critical

IMPACT:
Exposure of sensitive information

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
PEAR MDB2 2.x
http://secunia.com/product/16488/

DESCRIPTION:
A security issue has been reported in PEAR MDB2, which can be
exploited by malicious people to disclose sensitive information.

The security issue is caused due to MDB2 potentially making use of
PHP's protocol wrappers when storing certain input as LOB. This can
be exploited to e.g. disclose sensitive information by storing a
specially crafted URI (e.g. "file:///etc/passwd") as LOB.

The security issue is reported in versions prior to 2.5.0a1.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 2.5.0a1.

Filter input before storing it as MDB2 LOB.
