DESCRIPTION:
Filip Groszynski has reported a vulnerability in Form Mail Script,
which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable
system.

Input passed to the "script_root" parameter in "inc/formmail.inc.php"
isn't properly verified, before it is used to include files. This can
be exploited to include arbitrary files from external and local
resources.

Successful exploitation requires that "register_globals" is enabled.
