DESCRIPTION:
ThE TiGeR has discovered some vulnerabilities in Focus/SIS, which can
be exploited by malicious people to disclose sensitive information or
to compromise a vulnerable system.

Input passed to the "FocusPath" parameter in
modules/Discipline/CategoryBreakdownTime.php and
modules/Discipline/StudentFieldBreakdown.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.
