Description:
VietMafia has reported a vulnerability in eSyndiCat Directory Software, which can be exploited by malicious people to disclose sensitive information.
Input passed to the "path_to_config" parameter in admin/cron.php isn't properly verified, before it is used to include files. This can be exploited to include arbitrary files from local resources.
Successful exploitation requires that "register_globals" is enabled and that "magic_quotes_gpc" is disabled.
The vulnerability has been reported in version 1.2. Other versions may also be affected.
Solution:
Apply patch available from the vendor.
