DESCRIPTION:
DeltahackingTEAM has reported a vulnerability in awrate.com Message
Board, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a
vulnerable system.

Input passed to the "toroot" parameter within login.php.inc is not

exploited to execute arbitrary PHP code by including files from local
or external resources.

Examples:
http://[host]/search.php?toroot=[file]
http://[host]/index.php?toroot=[file]

NOTE: Reportedly more files are affected.

Successful exploitation requires that "register_globals" is enabled.
