RELEASE DATE:
2012-06-18
DESCRIPTION:
Sammy Forgit has discovered a vulnerability in the Maian Media
component for Joomla!, which can be exploited by malicious people to
compromise a vulnerable system.

The vulnerability is caused due to the
administrator/components/com_maianmedia/utilities/charts/php-ofc-library/ofc_upload_image.php
script allowing the upload of files with arbitrary extensions to a
folder inside the webroot. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary
PHP code by uploading a malicious PHP script.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 1.5.8.4. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Restrict access to the
administrator/components/com_maianmedia/utilities/charts/php-ofc-library/ofc_upload_image.php
script (e.g. via .htaccess).

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
