Interesting about Joomla! CMS

Joomla! 1.0.15 addresses a security issue discovered since our last stable release, Joomla! 1.0.14. After adequate testing on a backup or sandbox version of your live site, you should backup your live site and upgrade to 1.0.15.

Note, that you should upgrade your site to Joomla!1.0.15 only if you used Joomla! 1.0.12 or early and subsequently upgrading to next releases (1.0.13 or 1.0.14).

Security Fixes

• SECURITY [HIGH] Fixed remote file inclusion vulnerability.

Explanation
In Joomla! 1.0.13, the following line was added to the configuration.php file:

if(!defined('RG_EMULATION')) { define( 'RG_EMULATION', 0 ); }

This file is located in the root directory of your Joomla! Web site. Including this extra line protects against possible remote file inclusion.
