TITLE:
Serendipity Arbitrary File Upload Security Issue

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA37830

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/37830/

DESCRIPTION:
A security issue has been discovered in Serendipity, which can be
exploited by malicious users to compromise a vulnerable system.

The security issue is caused due to the application improperly
validating uploaded files. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary
PHP code by uploading a PHP file with e.g. an appended ".jpg" file
extension.

Successful exploitation requires that Apache is not configured to
handle the mime-type for uploadable media files.

The security issue is confirmed in version 1.4.1. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 1.5.

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