DESCRIPTION:
0in has discovered a vulnerability in Smeego, which can be exploited
by malicious people to disclose sensitive information.

Input passed in the "lang" cookie to index.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 and URL-encoded NULL bytes ("%00").

Successful exploitation requires that "magic_quotes_gpc" is disabled,
which is not the recommended value specified during installation.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 1.0. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Set "magic_quotes_gpc" in php.ini to "On".
