DESCRIPTION:
Crackers_Child has discovered a vulnerability in the samPHPweb
template included in SAM Broadcaster, which can be exploited by
malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.
Input passed to the "commonpath" parameter in common/db.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 vulnerability is confirmed in SAM Broadcaster version 4.3.2.
