Geeklog lib-common.php local file include
| geeklog-common-file-include (24776) |  Medium Risk |
Description:
Geeklog could allow a remote attacker to include malicious local files. A remote attacker could send a specially-crafted URL request to the lib-common.php script using the 'language' parameter to specify a malicious file from the local system, which could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary code on the vulnerable system.
Platforms Affected:
- Geeklog, Geeklog prior to 1.3.11sr3
- Geeklog, Geeklog prior to 1.4.0sr1
Remedy:
Upgrade to the latest version of Geeklog (1.4.0sr1 or later) or (1.3.11sr4 or later), available from the Geeklog Web site. See References.
Consequences:
Gain Access
