Russcom PHPImages lack of validation

Russcom's PHPImages doesn't validate if the uploaded
file is an image, it just checks for the extension, thus 
allowing an attacker to upload php scripts with a .gif extension
for example, potentially allowing him (trough file inclusion vulns for
example) to execute arbitrary code.
