Snort is an open-source intrusion detection system. The Basic Analysis and Security Engine (BASE) is a web interface for analyzing Snort results.
If the register_globals PHP option is enabled, the **base_qry_common.php**
script can be used to include arbitrary files under the directory specified by the **BASE_path**
parameter. This could lead to execution of local or remote PHP code.
Upgrade to BASE 1.2.5 or higher.

In order for this exploit to succeed, the register_globals option must be enabled in the PHP configuration, and the Apache log file must exist in a common location.
