DESCRIPTION:
krasza has discovered a vulnerability in jPortal, which can be
exploited by malicious people to conduct SQL injection attacks.

Input passed to the "word" parameter in download.php isn't properly
sanitised before being used in a SQL query. This can be exploited to
manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.

Successful exploitation requires that "magic_quotes_gpc" is
disabled.

The vulnerability has been confirmed in version 2.3.1. Other versions
may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.
