Description:
Ghost Hacker has discovered a vulnerability in Free Directory Script, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.

Input passed to the "API_HOME_DIR" parameter in init.php is not properly verified before being used to include files. This can be exploited to include arbitrary files from local and external resources.

Successful exploitation requires that "register_globals" is enabled.
