Description:
imei addmimistrator has discovered three vulnerabilities in Coppermine Photo Gallery, which can be exploited by malicious people to bypass certain security restrictions and conduct SQL injection attacks.
1) Input passed to the "referer" and "user-agent" HTTP headers isn't properly sanitised before being used in a SQL query in the "add_hit()" function. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.
Successful exploitation requires that "magic_quotes_gpc" is disabled and that the "Keep detailed hit statistics" setting is enabled (not enabled by default).
2) An error in the clean-up functionality in init.inc.php can be exploited to unset system arrays (e.g. "_GET" and "_POST").
This can further be exploited to bypass the security protection which undefines global variables if "register_globals" is enabled.
The vulnerabilities have been confirmed in version 1.4.8. Other versions may also be affected.
Solution:
The vulnerabilities have been fixed in the SVN repository.
