SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA37822

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/37822/

DESCRIPTION:
Stefano Angaran has discovered a vulnerability in Snitz Forums 2000,
which can be exploited by malicious users to conduct SQL injection
attacks.

Input passed via the "X-Forwarded-For" HTTP header to e.g. active.asp
(when the "AllRead" POST parameter is set to "Y") is not properly
sanitised before being used in an SQL query in inc_func_common.asp.
This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting
arbitrary SQL code.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 3.4.07. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Filter malicious characters and character sequences in a proxy.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
