http://secunia.com/advisories/30685/

CRITICAL:

WHERE:

SOFTWARE:
Mambo 4.x
http://secunia.com/product/872/

DESCRIPTION:
irk4z has discovered a vulnerability in Mambo, which can be exploited
by malicious people to disclose sensitive information and compromise a
vulnerable system.

Input passed to the "mosConfig_absolute_path" parameter in
includes/Cache/Lite/Output.php is not properly verified before being
used to include files. This can be exploited to include arbitrary
files from local or external resources.

Successful exploitation requires that "register_globals" is enabled,
which is not the setting recommended by the installer.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 4.6.4. Other versions may
also be affected.

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