TITLE:
Mambo Multiple Vulnerabilities

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA30343

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/30343/

CRITICAL:
Moderately critical

IMPACT:
Cross Site Scripting, Manipulation of data, Exposure of sensitive
information

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
Mambo 4.x
http://secunia.com/product/872/

DESCRIPTION:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in Mambo, which can be
exploited by malicious people to conduct SQL injection or HTTP
response splitting attacks.

1) Input passed to the "articleid" and "mcname" parameters in
index.php is not properly sanitised before being used in SQL queries.
This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary
SQL code.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability allows e.g. retrieving
administrator usernames and password hashes, but requires that
"magic_quotes_gpc" is disabled, which is not the value recommended in
the installer.

2) Certain unspecified input is not properly sanitised before being
returned to the user. This can be exploited to insert arbitrary HTTP
headers, which will be included in a response sent to the user.

The vulnerabilities are reported in 4.6.3 and in all prior 4.6.x
versions.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 4.6.4.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Reported by the vendor.
