Good day.

Small addition to the advisory.

The second variable, 'extlang', also can be used for the file inclusion
and before r6886 there was the programming error: patch for locales.php
r6593 included wrong validation condition for 'extlang':
-----
if(ereg('^[A-Za-z0-9_]+$', $_REQUEST['srclang']) && ($_REQUEST['extlang'] != 'new'))
-----
This was fixed in revision 6886 of branches/1.6.

Be sure to update to the r6886 or later, otherwise LFI will still
be possible.
