VirtueMart "search_category" SQL Injection Vulnerability

Description
Andrea Fabrizi has discovered a vulnerability in VirtueMart, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct SQL injection attacks.

Input passed via the "search_category" parameter to index.php (when "option" is set to "com_virtuemart" and "page" is set to "shop.browse") 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 confirmed in version 1.1.6. Other versions may also be affected.

Solution
Apply patch.
