include arbitrary files from local resources.

Successful exploitation requires that "magic_quotes_gpc" is disabled,
"register_globals" is enabled, and that the underlying web server does
not respect ".htaccess" directives.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 2.05. Other versions may
also be affected.
