IMPACT:

SOFTWARE:
UBB.threads 7.x
http://secunia.com/product/19769/

DESCRIPTION:
James Bercegay has reported a vulnerability in UBB.threads, which can
be exploited by malicious users to conduct SQL injection attacks.

Input passed to the "Forum[]" array in index.php (when "ubb" is set
to "dosearch") 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 allows e.g. retrieval of passwords, but
requires valid user credentials.

The vulnerability is reported in version 7.3.1 downloaded before
2008-09-02 and all previous 7.x versions.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 7.3.1 downloaded on or after 2008-09-02.
