RELEASE DATE:
2010-07-07
DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been discovered in the AutarTimonial component
for Joomla, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct SQL
injection attacks.

Input passed via the "limit" parameter to index.php (when "option" is
set to "com_autartimonial") is not properly sanitised before being
used in a SQL query. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries
by injecting arbitrary SQL code.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 1.0.8. Other versions may
also be affected.

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