Description:
w0cker has discovered a vulnerability in DaZPHPNews, which can be exploited by malicious people to disclose sensitive information.
Input passed to the "prefixdir" parameter in makepost.php is not properly verified before being 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 is confirmed in version 0.1-1. Other versions may also be affected.
Solution:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly verified.
