DESCRIPTION:
Mark Stanislav has reported a vulnerability in Pulse CMS, which can
be exploited by malicious people to disclose potentially sensitive
information.

Input passed via the "p" parameter to e.g. index.php is not properly
sanitised before being used. This can be exploited to include
arbitrary files from local resources via directory traversal
sequences and URL-encoded NULL bytes.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires that
"magic_quotes_gpc" is disabled.

The vulnerability is reported in version 1.2.8. Prior versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 1.2.9.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
