http://secunia.com/advisories/16260/

CRITICAL:
Highly critical

IMPACT:
System access

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
PHPmyGallery 0.x
http://secunia.com/product/5452/

DESCRIPTION:
Securitysos Inc. has reported a vulnerability in PHPmyGallery, which
can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable
system.

Input passed to the "confdir" parameter in "common-tpl-vars.php"
isn't properly verified, before it is used to include files. This can
be exploited to include arbitrary files from external and local
resources.

Successful exploitation requires that "register_globals" is enabled.

The vulnerability has been reported in version 1.5 beta and prior
(latest affected stable version is 0.995).

SOLUTION:
The vendor recommends restricting access to the "_conf" directory.
