http://secunia.com/advisories/20475/
CRITICAL:
Highly critical
IMPACT:
System access
WHERE:
>From remote
SOFTWARE:

DESCRIPTION:
Federico Fazzi has discovered some vulnerabilities in MiraksGalerie,
which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable
system.
Input passed to the "g_pcltar_lib_dir" parameter in pcltar.lib.php
and to the "listconfigfile[]" parameter in galsecurity.lib.php is not
properly verified before being used to include files. This can be
exploited to execute arbitrary PHP code by including files from local
or external resources.
Successful exploitation of "g_pcltar_lib_dir" in pcltar.lib.php
requires that "register_globals" is enabled.
The vulnerabilities have been confirmed in version 2.62. Other
versions may also be affected.
SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly verified.
