Can't see anything new in there. The usual PHP exploit suite, which is very 
script kiddie compatible, but where do you suspect a new exploit? AFAICT, this 
is targetted to sites using stuff like

include($_GET['page'])

as their action dispatch inside the script.

If you filter user input correctly, there's absolutely nothing to worry. You 
might, however, want to check out the Hardening Patch for PHP 
(http://www.hardened-php.net/, shameless plug) which permits include() for any 
URL, or disable allow_url_fopen in php.ini.
