CVE-2006-1339 Information

Description

Directory traversal vulnerability in inc/functions.inc.php in CuteNews 1.4.1 and possibly other versions when register_globals is enabled allows remote attackers to include arbitrary files via a .. (dot dot) sequence and trailing NULL (00) byte in the archive parameter in an HTTP POST or COOKIE request which bypasses a sanity check that is only applied to a GET request.
