injection attacks." );

"According to its banner, the remote host is running a version of
UBB.threads that fails to sufficiently sanitize the 'Number' parameter
before using it in SQL queries in the 'editpost.php' script.  As a
result, a remote attacker can pass malicious input to database
queries, potentially resulting in data exposure, modification of the
query logic, or even data modification or attacks against the database
itself." );
