VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/36804/

DESCRIPTION:
Chip D3 Bi0s has discovered a vulnerability in Integrated Newsletter
component for Joomla, which can be exploited by malicious users to
conduct SQL injection attacks.

Input passed via the "newsid" parameter to index.php (if "option" is
set to "com_jinc" and "view" to "newsletter") is not properly
sanitised before being used in an SQL query. This can be exploited to
manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 0.3. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.
