DESCRIPTION:
rgod has reported two vulnerabilities in Coppermine Photo Gallery,
which can be exploited by malicious people and by malicious users to
compromise a vulnerable system.

1) Input passed to the "lang" parameter in include/init.inc.php isn't
properly verified, before it is used to include files. This can be
exploited to include arbitrary files from local resources. The
vulnerability can be further exploited by users who are allowed to
upload image files to execute arbitrary PHP code.

2) Input passed to the "f" parameter in docs/showdoc.php isn't
properly verified, before it is used to include files. This can be
exploited to include arbitrary files from local resources on the
Windows platform, and remote files from Windows shared folders.

The vulnerabilities have been reported in version 1.4.3. Other
versions may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.
