Description:
HelloWorld has reported a vulnerability in Land Down Under, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct SQL injection attacks.

Input passed to "auth.php" during login is not properly sanitised before being used in a SQL query. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.

Successful exploitation may allow bypassing of the user authentication.

The vulnerability has been reported in version 601. Other versions may also be affected.

Solution:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly validated.

NOTE: This vulnerability is not exploitable if "magic_quotes_gpc" is enabled in "php.ini". However, this may affect the functionality of other PHP scripts.
