Description |
Yves Goergen BlackBoard Internet Newsboard contains a flaw that may allow a malicious user to execute arbitrary commands on the server. The issue is triggered when "checkdb.inc.php" does not validate user supplied input to the $libpath variable. This allows an attacker to include an arbitrary file from a remote server which contains commands that will be executed with the same privileges as the running web server. |
