VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/29514/

CRITICAL:
Moderately critical

IMPACT:
Exposure of system information, Exposure of sensitive information

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
phpAddressBook 2.x
http://secunia.com/product/18019/

DESCRIPTION:
0x90 has discovered two vulnerabilities in phpAddressBook, which can
be exploited by malicious people to disclose sensitive information.

Input passed to the "skin" parameter in index.php and install.php is
not properly verified before being used to include files. This can be
exploited to include arbitrary files from local resources via
directory traversal attacks.

Successful exploitation requires that "magic_quotes_gpc" is
disabled.

The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 2.11. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly verified.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
