DESCRIPTION:
v1per-haCker has discovered some vulnerabilities in phpProfiles,
which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable
system.
Input passed to the "reqpath" parameter in users/include/body.inc.php
and users/include/body_blog.inc.php, and to the "usrinc" parameter in
users/include/upload_ht.inc.php is not properly verified before being
used to include files. This can be exploited to include arbitrary
files from local or external resources.
Successful exploitation requires that "register_globals" is enabled.
The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 2.1. Other versions may
also be affected.
SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly verified or
disable "register_globals".
