Joomla JA JobBoard Component Two File Inclusion Vulnerabilities

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA39219

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/39219/

DESCRIPTION:
Two vulnerabilities have been reported in the JA JobBoard component
for Joomla, which can be exploited by malicious people to disclose
potentially sensitive information.

Input passed to the "controller" and "view" parameters in index.php
(when "option" is set to "com_jajobboard") is not properly verified
before being used to include files. This can be exploited to include
arbitrary files from local resources via directory traversal attacks
and URL-encoded NULL bytes.

The vulnerabilities are reported in version 1.4.4. Other versions may
also be affected.

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