DESCRIPTION:
Michael Brooks has discovered a vulnerability in Coppermine Photo
Gallery, which can be exploited by malicious people to bypass certain
security restrictions and compromise a vulnerable system.

The vulnerability is caused due to an error while filtering variables
in the include/init.inc.php script. This can be exploited to overwrite
arbitrary variables and e.g. execute arbitrary PHP code by uploading
arbitrary PHP files via the picEditor.php script.

Successful exploitation requires that "register_globals" is enabled.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 1.4.19. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Set "register_globals" to "Off".
