Ganesha Digital Library Cross-Site Scripting and SQL Injection Vulnerabilities

Description

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Ganesha Digital Library, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting and SQL injection attacks.
1) Input passed via the "id" GET parameter to gdl.php (when "mod" is set to "browse" and "op" is set to "comment") and to download.php is not properly sanitised before being used in a SQL query. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.
2) Input passed via the "keyword" GET parameter to gdl.php (when "mod" is set to "search" and "action" is set to an arbitrary value) is not properly sanitised before being returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected site.
The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 4.2. Other versions may also be affected.
