Geeklog connector.php file upload
| geeklog-connector-file-upload (27494) |  Medium Risk |
Description:
Geeklog could allow a remote attacker to upload arbitrary files. If the 'mod_mime' module is installed, a remote attacker could send a specially-crafted URL request to the file upload function using the fckeditor/editor/filemanager/browser/mcpuk/connectors/php/connector.php script to specify a filename with multiple file extensions to upload a malicious PHP file from a remote system, which could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary code on the vulnerable Web server.
Consequences:
Gain Access
Remedy:
Upgrade to the latest version of Geeklog (1.4.0sr4 or later), available from the Geeklog Web site. See References.
