      PHP Manpage Lookup File Disclosure
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    SUMMARY

     <http://php.amnuts.com> Manpage Lookup is a PHP class that helps you to
    build a "manpage" frontend in PHP. A vulnerability in the product allows
    remote attackers to view the content of arbitrary files.

    DETAILS

    The script class.manpagelookup.php is vulnerable to a directory
    transversal bug that could lead to disclose any readable (by the HTTPd
    process id) files on the remote server.

    The problem is located in the function buildManPage(), as the $cmd
    variable is not properly filtered allowing any file to be opened.

    Exploit:
    The following URL will display the content of the /etc/resolv.conf file
    http://www.foo.com/manpage/index.php?command=/etc/resolv.conf

    Vendor status:
    The vulnerability has been fixed by Andy (author). Anyone using this
    script should upgrade to the latest version.
