Re: Re: Xaraya <= 1.0.0 RC4 D.O.S / file corruption

it's not an inclusion bug, it is an fopen()/file corruption bug, this is the 
vulnerable code in xarMLSXML2PHPBackend.php:
...
   function create($ctxType, $ctxName)

        $this->fileName = $this->baseDir;
        $this->xmlFileName = $this->baseXMLDir;

        if (!ereg("^[a-z]+:$", $ctxType)) {
            list($prefix,$directory) = explode(':',$ctxType);
            if ($directory != "") {
                $this->fileName .= $directory . "/";
                $this->xmlFileName .= $directory . "/";
            }
        }

        $dirForMkDir = $this->fileName;
        if (!file_exists($dirForMkDir)) xarMLS__mkdirr($dirForMkDir, 0777);

        $this->fileName .= $ctxName . ".php";

            }

however, this is  my proof of cocept exploit:
