Descriptions

Simple Machines Forum (SMF) 1.1RCx before 1.1RC3, and 1.0.x before 1.0.8, does not properly unset variables when the input data includes a numeric parameter with a value matching an alphanumeric parameter's hash value, which allows remote attackers to perform directory traversal attacks to read arbitrary local files, lock topics, and possibly have other security impacts. NOTE: it could be argued that this vulnerability is due to a bug in the unset PHP command (CVE-2006-3017) and the proper fix should be in PHP; if so, then this should not be treated as a vulnerability in Simple Machines Forum.

Simple Machines Forum (SMF) 1.1RCx anterior a 1.1RC3, y 1.0.x anterior a 1.0.8, no asigna correctamente variables cuando los datos de entrada incluyen un parámetro numérico con un valor que empareja el valor del hash de un parámetro alfanumérico, lo cual permite a un atacante remoto llevar a cabo ataques de directorio transversal para leer archivos locales de su elección, bloquear asuntos, y tener posiblemente otros impactos de seguridad. NOTA: podría ser discutido que esta vulnerabilidad es debida a un fallo en el comando unset de PHP (CVE-2006-3017) y la solución apropiada debe estar en el PHP; si es así entonces esto no se debe tratar como vulnerabilidad en Simple Machines Forum.
