Vulnerability Details:
High-Tech Bridge SA Security Research Lab has discovered multiple 
vulnerabilities in VtigerCRM, which can be exploited to perform local file 
inclusion attacks.

1) Input passed via the "file" GET parameter to index.php is not properly 
verified before being used to include files. 
This can be exploited to include previously uploaded files via directory 
traversal sequences and URL-encoded NULL bytes.

http://[host]/index.php?module=Accounts&action=AccountsAjax&ajax=true&file=AddressChange&file=../../storage/2011/October/week3/UploadedFile.txt%00

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires that "magic_quotes_gpc" 
is disabled.

properly verified before being used to include files. 
This can be exploited to include previously uploaded files via directory 
traversal sequences and URL-encoded NULL bytes.
