VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/37687/

DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been reported in the Event Manager component for
Joomla, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct SQL
injection attacks.

Input passed via the "id" parameter to index.php (if "option" is set
to "com_content" and "view" is set to "article") is not properly
sanitised before being used in SQL queries. This can be exploited to
manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.

The vulnerability is reported in version 1.5. Other versions may also
be affected.

SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.
