Description:
Gerardo Di Giacomo has reported two vulnerabilities in eSKUeL, which can be exploited by malicious people to disclose sensitive information.

Input passed to the "ConfLangCookie" and "lang_config" parameters in "include/functions.inc.php" included from several scripts isn't properly verified, before it is used to include files. This can be exploited to include arbitrary files from local resources.
