http://secunia.com/advisories/product/20875/

DESCRIPTION:
GoLd_M has discovered a vulnerability in eDNews, which can be
exploited by malicious people to disclose sensitive information.

Input passed to the "lg" parameter in myConfig.php is not properly
verified before it is being used to include files e.g. via
eDNews_archive.php. This can be exploited to include arbitrary files
from local resources via directory traversal attacks.

Successful exploitation with arbitrary file extensions requires that
"magic_quotes_gpc" is disabled.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 2. Other versions may also
be affected.

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