Description :

C-Arbre is an integrated Intranet/Web software suite oriented towards knowledge management. Some of its key features include a CMS, 
a documents repository, handling of collaborative work and editions, templates engineering, support for DocBook XML, XHTML and Wiki style, permissions and work flow,
a search engine with full text indexing, logging of actions, a cache system, groupware tools (calendar, Web mail, mailing lists, etc.), 
automatic generation of a Web portal, and internationalization of the interface.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Vulnerability:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Invalid include function at lib/Richtxt_functions.inc.php :  
  	
----------------lib/Richtxt_functions.inc.php-------------------
<?php
//try to integrate the wikimedia engine functions
include_once("$root_path/include/Wikitxt_functions.inc.php");

...
----------------------------------------------------------------


Input passed to the "root_path" parameter in lib/Richtxt_functions.inc.php is not properly verified before being used to include files. 
This can be exploited to include arbitrary files from local or external resources.
Successful exploitation requires that "register_globals" is enabled.

also affected files :
lib/adddocfile.php
lib/auth_check.php
lib/browse_current_category.inc.php
lib/docfile_details.php
lib/main.php
