Descriptions

plugins/system/remember/remember.php in Joomla! 2.5.x before 2.5.10 and 3.0.x before 3.0.4 does not properly handle an object obtained by unserializing a cookie, which allows remote authenticated users to conduct PHP object injection attacks and cause a denial of service via unspecified vectors.

plugins/system/remember/remember.php en Joomla! v2.5.x anterior a v2.5.10 y v3.0.x anterior a v3.0.4 no controla correctamente un objeto obtenido por la "serialización" de una cookie, lo que permite a los usuarios remotos autenticados realizar ataques de inyección de objetos PHP y provocar una denegación de servicio a través de vectores no especificados.
