DESCRIPTION:
Kurdish Security has reported a vulnerability in the MoSpray
component of Mambo, which can be exploited by malicious people to
compromise a vulnerable system.

arbitrary PHP code by including files from local or external
resources.
Successful exploitation requires that "register_globals" is enabled.
