"The remote web server contains a PHP application that is affected by
multiple vulnerabilities." );

"The remote version of PunBB contains a flaw in its template system
that can be exploited to read arbitrary local files or, if an attacker
can upload a specially crafted avatar, to execute arbitrary PHP code. 

In addition, the application fails to sanitize the 'temp' parameter of
the 'profile.php' script before using it in a database query, which
allows for SQL injection attacks." );
