Description:
Two vulnerabilities have been reported in Mambo Server, which can be exploited by malicious people to manipulate SQL queries.
1) The "dbprefix" parameter in "pollBooth.php" isn't properly verified before it is used in a SQL query. This can potentially be exploited if "register_globals" is set to "off".
2) The "artid" parameter in "articles.php" isn't properly verified before it is used in a SQL query.
Depending on the underlying database, this can be used to manipulate data in the database.
The vulnerabilities have been reported in version 4.0.14.
