http://secunia.com/advisories/22287/

CRITICAL:
Highly critical

IMPACT:
System access

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
Dimension of phpBB 0.x
http://secunia.com/product/12214/

DESCRIPTION:
SpiderZ has discovered some vulnerabilities in Dimension of phpBB,
which can be exploited by malicious people to execute arbitrary PHP
code by including files from local or external resources.

Input passed to the "phpbb_root_path" parameter in
includes/themen_portal_mitte.php and includes/logger_engine.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 vulnerabilities have been reported in version 0.2.5 and confirmed
in version 0.2.6. Other versions may also be affected.

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