DESCRIPTION:
H!tm@N has reported a vulnerability in the Ignite Gallery component
for Joomla!, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct
SQL injection attacks.

Input passed to the "gallery" parameter in the Joomla! installation's
index.php script (when "option" is set to "com_ignitegallery" and
"task" 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.

Successful exploitation allows e.g. retrieval of administrator
usernames and password hashes, but requires knowledge of the database
table prefix.

The vulnerability is reported in versions from 0.8.0 up to and
including 0.8.3.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 0.8.3.1.
