Description:
Two vulnerabilities have been reported in PerlDesk, which can be exploited by malicious people to disclose sensitive information, conduct SQL injection attacks, and potentially compromise a vulnerable system.
1) Input passed to the "lang" parameter in "pdesk.cgi" isn't properly verified before being used to include Perl libraries. This can be exploited to include arbitrary local Perl libraries using directory traversal attacks combined with appending "%00" at the end.
Example:
http://[victim]/cgi-bin/pdesk.cgi?lang=[file]%00
Successful exploitation can e.g. disclose sensitive information when a non-valid Perl library is referenced, but may also allow execution of arbitrary code when a valid Perl library is referenced.
The vulnerability has been reported in version 1.8 and prior.
2) Input passed to the "view" parameter in "kb.cgi" is not properly sanitised before being used in a SQL query. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.
The vulnerability has been reported in the 1.x releases.
