Solution / Fix

Noguska Nola Remote File Include Vulnerability

Solution:
Reportedly, exploitation of this type of vulnerability is not possible unless both 'allow_url_fopen' and 'register_globals' are enabled in the local site PHP configuration.

It is good practice to disable any unneeded options.

The following patch was produced by Ryan Fox <[email protected]> to circumvent this vulnerability by defining disallowed file extensions:
diff -r nola/docmgmtadd.php nola.orig/docmgmtadd.php

< $nondisallowedfile=1;
< foreach($disallowedfileext as $this) {
< if ($substr_count($file_name, $this)) {
< $nondisallowedfile=0;
< break;
< };
< };
<
< // illegal file type!
< if ($nondisallowedfile != 1) die(texterror('This file type is not supported.'));
<
diff -r nola/includes/defines.php nola.orig/includes/defines.php

< //disallowed file extentions
< $disallowedfileext=array('.php','.phps','.php3');
