SQL injection attacks." );

"The remote host is running Exhibit Engine, a web-based photo gallery
written in PHP. 

The version installed on the remote host suffers from a SQL injection
vulnerability due to its failure to sanitize user-supplied input to
various parameters of the 'list.php' script.  An attacker can exploit
these flaws to inject arbitrary SQL statements into the affected
application, possibly even reading arbitrary database entries." );
