Description:
Two vulnerabilities have been reported in Jaws, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.
1) Input passed to the "path" parameter in "BlogModel.php" isn't properly verified, before it is used to include files. This can be exploited to include arbitrary files from external and local resources.
Successful exploitation requires that "register_globals" is enabled.
The vulnerability has been confirmed in version 0.5.2. Other versions may also be affected.
2) An input validation error in the XML-RPC library can be exploited to execute arbitrary PHP code via a specially crafted XML document.
For more information:
SA15852
The vulnerability has been reported in versions prior to 0.5.2.
Solution:
1) Set "register_globals" to "Off" or edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.
2) Update to version 0.5.2.
