DESCRIPTION:
Ghost Hacker has discovered two vulnerabilities in HIOX Browser
Statistics, which can be exploited by malicious people to disclose
sensitive information and compromise a vulnerable system.

Input passed to the "hm" parameter in hioxstats.php and
hioxupdate.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.

The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 2.0. Other versions may
also be affected.
