Description

SQL injection vulnerability in the get_history_lastid function in the nodewatcher component in Zabbix Server before 1.6.8 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via a crafted request, possibly related to the send_history_last_id function in zabbix_server/trapper/nodehistory.c.

• CWE-89Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection')The product constructs all or part of an SQL command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended SQL command when it is sent to a downstream component. Without sufficient removal or quoting of SQL syntax in user-controllable inputs, the generated SQL query can cause those inputs to be interpreted as SQL instead of ordinary user data.
