| Detailed Description |
The phpBB installed on the Web server has multiple Path Disclosure Vulnerabilities.
The phpBB is a open-source bulletin board software package, which uses MySQL, MS-SQL, PostgreSQL or Access/ODBC database. The phpBB version 2.0.8 and possibly earlier versions are vulnerable to multiple Path Disclosure Vulnerabilities in the 'index.php', 'lang_faq.php', 'lang_bbcode.php', and 'lusercp_viewprofile.php' scripts. A remote attacker could cause phpBB to return an error that discloses the full path of the Web root directory by sending a specially-crafted URL to these vulnerable scripts. A remote attacker can use this information to perform further attack.
