1. Overview.

b2 is a news/weblog tool written in php. b2 uses MySQL as backend system.

2. Description.

"b2 0.6.1 with ljupdate" allow remote command execution in
./b2-include/b2functions.php. A malicious user can inject an url in $b2inc,
and obtain command execution with web server privileges ( usually nobody ).

"b2 0.6.2 and prior" allow sql injection in ./blog.header.php. $posts isnīt
convert to integer, so we can inject a sql in this variable. In MySQL 4.x
UNION and subselects can be used to obtain privileges.

"b2 0.6.2 and prior" has a little flaw. Bored users can force server to read
a remote file using $b2inc in ./b2-include/b2menutop.php
