DESCRIPTION:
xoron has discovered some vulnerabilities in NUNE News Script, which
can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable
system.

Input passed to the "custom_admin_path" parameter in index.php and
archives.php is not properly verified before being used to include
files. This can be exploited to include arbitrary files from local or
remote resources.

Successful exploitation requires that "register_globals" be enabled.
