/*
software site: http://www.php-update.co.uk/

another funny extract() issue, vulnerable code in blog.php:

<?php

extract($HTTP_POST_VARS);
extract($HTTP_GET_VARS);
extract($HTTP_COOKIE_VARS);
...

let me say... tnx!
so, you can overwrite $adminuser and $permission arguments
and every var you wanr

we cannot use <?php or <? to initiate code, because we have
  ...
  $newmessage = str_replace("<?", "&lt;?", $newmessage);
  ...
in blog.php, however this syntax is always avaliable,
see php man page for basic syntax
also this bypass magic_quotes_gpc because of the stripslashes() on
$newmessage argument
also, note this, we have a directory traversal in "f" argument
but I prefer posts because we do not have an .htaccess in blogs/posts/ folder
"0.php" string is appended to a new post filename
