TITLE:
Factux Multiple File Inclusion Vulnerabilities

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA39717

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/39717/

DESCRIPTION:
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Factux, which can be
exploited by malicious people to disclose potentially sensitive
information.

Input passed to the "lang" parameter in admin_modif.php, admin.php,
article_new.php, article_update.php, backup.php, backup_timeout.php,
bon_suite.php, and ca_annee.php is not properly verified before being
used to include files. This can be exploited to include arbitrary
files from local resources via directory traversal attacks and
URL-encoded NULL bytes.

Successful exploitation requires that "magic_quotes_gpc" is disabled
and "register_globals" is enabled.

The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 1.1.5. Other versions
may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly verified.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
