VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/19036/

CRITICAL:
Moderately critical

IMPACT:
Exposure of sensitive information

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
iGENUS Webmail 2.x
http://secunia.com/product/8368/

DESCRIPTION:
rgod has reported a vulnerability in iGENUS Webmail, which can be
exploited by malicious people to disclose potentially sensitive
information.

Input passed to the "SG_HOME" parameter in config/config_inc.php is
not properly verified, before it is used to include files. This can
be exploited to include arbitrary files from local resources.

Successful exploitation requires that "register_globals" is enabled
and "magic_quotes_gpc" is disabled.

The vulnerability has been reported in version 2.02. Other versions
might also be affected.

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