A) Remote Code Execution
A Remote Code Execution issue has been found in Zabbix version
1.6.2 and no authentication is required in order to exploit this
vulnerability. The Magic Quotes must be off in order to exploit
this vulnerability, however this feature will not be supported
starting with PHP 6.0 (ref. http://it2.php.net/magic_quotes).
Zabbix has a security feature that parses all incoming input for
possible bad chars with the help of the function check_fields() defined
II. DESCRIPTION
This application is affected by many SQL Injection
security flaws. In order to exploit they, the Magic Quotes
GPG (php.ini) must be Off.
In this security advisory I reported only some of the
vulnerable files.
I tested 0.1.5c version only, however other versions may
be also vulnerable.
