CVE-2007-1540
Description
Directory traversal vulnerability in am.pl in (1) SQL-Ledger 2.6.27 and earlier, and (2) LedgerSMB before 1.2.0, allows remote attackers to run arbitrary executables and bypass authentication via a .. (dot dot) sequence and trailing NULL (%00) in the login parameter. NOTE: this issue was reportedly addressed in SQL-Ledger 2.6.27, however third-party researchers claim that the file is still executed even though an error is generated.

Exploit-DB
LedgerSMB1.0/1.1 / SQL-Ledger 2.6.x - 'Login' Local File Inclusion / Authentication Bypass
source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/23034/info
LedgerSMB/SQL-Ledger are prone to a local file-include vulnerability because the application fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied input. SQL-Ledger is also prone to an authentication-bypass vulnerability.
A successful exploit would allow an attacker to view files and execute arbitrary local scripts within the context of the webserver and potentially gain unauthorized access to the affected application.
Note that the authentication-bypass issue affects only SQL-Ledger.
These issues affect LedgerSMB prior to 1.1.10 and SQL-Ledger prior to 2.6.27.
