DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been discovered in Alsbtain Bulletin, which can
be exploited by malicious people to disclose sensitive information.
Input passed via the "act" parameter to index.php is not properly
verified before being used to include files. This can be exploited to
include arbitrary files from local resources via directory traversal
attacks and URL-encoded NULL bytes.
Successful exploitation requires that "magic_quotes_gpc" is
disabled.
The vulnerability is confirmed in version 1.6. Other versions may
also be affected.
SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly verified.
