DESCRIPTION:
r0t has reported two vulnerabilities in FAQ System, which can be
exploited by malicious people to conduct SQL injection attacks.
Input passed to the "FAQ_ID" parameter in "viewFAQ.php" and the
"CATEGORY_ID" parameter in "index.php" isn't properly sanitised
before being used in a SQL query. This can be exploited to manipulate
SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.
The vulnerabilities have been reported in version 1.1 and prior.
Other versions may also be affected.
