TITLE: Coppermine Photo Gallery "add_hit()" SQL Injection

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID: SA20597

VERIFY ADVISORY: http://secunia.com/advisories/20597/

CRITICAL: Moderately critical

IMPACT: Manipulation of data

WHERE: >From remote

SOFTWARE: Coppermine Photo Gallery 1.x

DESCRIPTION: imei addmimistrator has discovered two vulnerabilities in Coppermine Photo Gallery, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct SQL injection attacks.

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).

The vulnerabilities have been confirmed in version 1.4.8. Other versions may also be affected.

SOLUTION: Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised. Disable the "Keep detailed hit statistics" setting.
