VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/21539/

CRITICAL:
Highly critical

IMPACT:
System access

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
Coppermine 1.x (component for Mambo)
http://secunia.com/product/11551/

DESCRIPTION:
k1tk4t has discovered a vulnerability in the Coppermine component for
Mambo, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a
vulnerable system.

Input passed to the "mosConfig_absolute_path" parameter in
components/com_cpg/cpg.php isn't properly verified, before it is used
to include files. This can be exploited to include arbitrary files
from external and local resources.

Successful exploitation requires that "register_globals" is enabled.

The vulnerability has been confirmed in version 1.0. Other versions
may also be affected.

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

Set "register_globals" to "Off".
