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

Input passed to the "category" parameter (if "option" is set to
"com_mdigg", "act" is set to "story_lists", and "task" is set to
"view") is not properly sanitised before being used in SQL queries.
This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting
arbitrary SQL code.
