DESCRIPTION:
Two vulnerabilities have been reported in the eTree component for
Joomla!, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct SQL
injection attacks.

Input passed via the "id" and "user_id" parameters to index.php (when
"option" is set to "com_directorytree", "view" is set to "displays",
and "layout" is set to "user") is not properly sanitised before being
used in SQL queries. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries
by injecting arbitrary SQL code.

The vulnerabilities are reported in version 1.5.0. Other versions may
also be affected.

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