DESCRIPTION:
Ricky Zhou has discovered some vulnerabilities in Numara FootPrints,
which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable
system.

Input passed to various parameters e.g. "transcriptFile" in
/MRcgi/MRchat.pl and "LOADFILE" in /MRcgi/MRABLoad2.pl is not
properly sanitised before being used in a call to "open()". This can
be exploited to inject and execute arbitrary commands using the "|"
character.

The vulnerabilities have been confirmed in version 8.0 on Linux.
Other versions may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
-- Numara FootPrints 8.x --
Update to version 8.1.

-- Numara FootPrints 7.x --
Apply patches.
