Description:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in PunBB, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct SQL injection attacks and compromise a vulnerable system.

1) Input passed to the "temp" array parameter in "profile.php" isn't properly sanitised before being used in a SQL query. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.

Successful exploitation requires that "register_globals" is enabled.

The vulnerability has been reported in version 1.2.5 and prior.

2) An error in the template system can be exploited to include arbitrary local files via e.g. the "redirect_url" parameter. This can further be exploited to execute arbitrary PHP code by referencing a specially crafted avatar image containing PHP code.

The vulnerability has been reported in version 1.2.5 and prior.

3) Certain unspecified input in the administrative interface isn't properly sanitised before being used in a SQL query. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.

Successful exploitation requires administrative or moderate privileges.

The vulnerability has been reported in version 1.2.5. Prior versions may also be affected.
