Description:
Mustafa Can Bjorn has discovered some vulnerabilities in VistaBB, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.

Input passed to the "phpbb_root_path" parameter in includes/functions_mod_user.php and includes/functions_portal.php is not properly verified before being used to include files. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary PHP code by including files from local or external resources.

Successful exploitation requires that "register_globals" is enabled.

The vulnerabilities have been confirmed in version 2.0.33. Other versions may also be affected.
