Direct News is prone to multiple remote file-include vulnerabilities
because it fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied data.
Exploiting these issues may allow an attacker to compromise the
application and the computer; other attacks are also possible.
Direct News 4.10.2 is vulnerable; other versions may be
affected as well.
