DESCRIPTION: Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Joomla, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct SQL injection attacks.
Input passed via the "filter_order" and "filter_order_Dir" parameters to index.php (e.g. when "option" is set to "com_weblinks", "com_contact", or "com_messages") is not properly verified before being used in a SQL query. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting limited SQL code, which may result in e.g. information disclosure via database errors.
The vulnerabilities are reported in versions prior to 1.5.22.
SOLUTION: Update to version 1.5.22.

DESCRIPTION: A vulnerability has been reported in the Sponsor Wall component for Joomla!, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct SQL injection attacks.
Input passed via the "catid" parameter to index.php (when "option" is set to "com_sponsorwall" and "controller" is set to "sponsorwall") is not properly sanitised before being used in SQL queries. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.
The vulnerability is reported in version 1.1. Other versions may also be affected.
SOLUTION: Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.
