      Simple PHP Blog Directory Traversal
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    SUMMARY

     <http://www.bigevilbrain.com/sphpblog/> Simple PHP Blog requires "no
    database to create a blog system but instead only requires PHP 4 (or
    greater) and write permission on the server".

    Two vulnerabilities in Simple PHP Blog are caused by inadequate testing
    for directory traversal attacks allow a remote attacker to view arbitrary
    files and create arbitrary directories.

    DETAILS

    Vulnerable Systems:
     * Simple PHP Blog version 0.3.7r1 and prior

    Immune Systems:
     * Simple PHP Blog version 0.3.7r2 or newer

    We can read any file with TXT extension (in this example /etc/X11/rgb.txt)
    Request:
    http://[SERVER]/sphpblog/comments.php?y=05&m=01&entry=../../../../../../../etc/X11/rgb
    Returns the content of the file

    We can create arbitrary folders in the file system and the content of the
    post will be saved in this folder.

    To create folder http://[SERVER]/sphpblog/createdir/

    Request (this must be a POST request and we must modify entry parameter):
    http://[SERVER]/sphpblog/comment_add_cgi.php
    ~ entry=../../../createdir
