DESCRIPTION:
Kacper has reported a vulnerability in Socketwiz Bookmarks, which can
be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.

Input passed to the "root_dir" parameter in smarty_config.php is not
properly verified before being used to include files. This can be
exploited to execute arbitrary PHP code by including files from local
or external resources.

Successful exploitation requires that "register_globals" is enabled.

The vulnerability has been reported in version 2.0. Other versions
may also be affected.

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