[GLSA-200605-04] phpWebSite: Local file inclusion |

phpWebSite: Local file inclusion Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200605-04 (phpWebSite: Local file inclusion) rgod has reported that the "hub_dir" parameter in "index.php" isn't properly verified. When "magic_quotes_gpc" is disabled, this can be exploited to include arbitrary files from local ressources. Impact If "magic_quotes_gpc" is disabled, which is not the default on Gentoo Linux, a remote attacker could exploit this issue to include and execute PHP scripts from local ressources with the rights of the user running the web server, or to disclose sensitive information and potentially compromise a vulnerable system. Workaround There is no known workaround at this time.
