Hi, folks. Look what my intrusion detection system caught:

GET /forum/tmp_view.php?file=/etc/passwd

I tested it and it does what you'd expect. Since my IDS caught it, that means it's already being actively exploited by system crackers.

The file tmp_view.php from FUDForum 2.0 can be used to view any file on the machine that's readable by the user the web server runs as. This is a Bad Thing(tm).

I upgraded to FUDForum 2.2.3 and the problem has been fixed. I only bring it up here because I believe it's important that people running older versions of the forum software be made aware of this problem and upgrade ASAP.

Bleeding head GOOD, healed head BAD!!
