CVE-2006-3940

Exp

Multiple SQL injection vulnerabilities in phpbb-Auction allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via (1) the ar parameter in auction_room.php and (2) the u parameter in auction_store.php. NOTE: the auction_rating.php vector is already covered by CVE-2005-1234. NOTE: the original disclosure states that the product name is "PHP-Auction", but this is probably an error.
