TITLE:
Max's Image Uploader File Upload Security Issue

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA38018

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/38018/

DESCRIPTION:
A security issue has been discovered in Max's Image Uploader, which
can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable
system.

The security issue is caused due to the index.php script improperly
validating uploaded files. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary
PHP code by uploading a malicious PHP script with multiple
extensions.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires that Apache is
not configured to handle the mime-type for media files with a  "pjpeg"
or "jpeg" extension.

SOLUTION:
Restrict access to the index.php script (e.g. via .htaccess).

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
