Description:
SpiderZ has discovered some vulnerabilities in Dimension of phpBB, which can be exploited by malicious people to execute arbitrary PHP code by including files from local or external resources.

Input passed to the "phpbb_root_path" parameter in includes/themen_portal_mitte.php and includes/logger_engine.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 reported in version 0.2.5 and confirmed in version 0.2.6. Other versions may also be affected.
