Description:
Several vulnerabilities were reported in Cacti. A remote user can inject SQL commands, bypass authentication, and execute arbitrary commands on the target system.
If register_globals is set to 'on' in the 'php.ini' file, then a remote user can supply a specially crafted request to set the 'sess_user_id' to bypass authentication.
Some previous input validation corrections to prevent SQL injection attacks were not properly implemented. A remote user can supply a specially crafted request to execute SQL commands on the underlying database.
