Description

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200908-09 (DokuWiki: Local file inclusion)

 Impact :

 A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute PHP code from arbitrary local, or, when the used PHP version supports ftp:// URLs, also from remote files via FTP. Furthermore, it is possible to disclose the contents of local files. NOTE: Successful exploitation requires the PHP option 'register_globals' to be enabled.
