DESCRIPTION:
rgod has discovered a vulnerability in Loudblog, which can be
exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.
Input passed to the "path" parameter in
"loudblog/inc/backend_settings.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 0.4. Other versions
may also be affected.
SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly verified.
Set "register_globals" to "Off".
