DESCRIPTION:
Kurdish Security has discovered some vulnerabilities in the foing
module for phpBB, which can be exploited by malicious people to
compromise a vulnerable system.

Input passed to the "phpbb_root_path" parameter in index.php,
song.php, faq.php, list.php, gen_m3u.php, and playlist.php isn't
properly verified, before it is used to include files. This can be
exploited to include arbitrary files from external and local
resources.

The vulnerabilities have been confirmed in version 0.7.0 and have
also been reported in versions 0.6.0, 0.5.0, 0.4.0, 0.3.0, and 0.2.0.
Other versions may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly verified.

Use another product.
