TITLE:
Joomla RD-Autos Component "makeid" SQL Injection Vulnerability

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA34578

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/34578/

DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been discovered in the RD-Autos component for
Joomla, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct SQL
injection attacks.

Input passed to the "makeid" parameter in index.php (when "option" is
set to "com_rdautos") 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 1.5.7. Other versions may
also be affected.

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

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Leonardo Armando Iarrusso
