CVE-2002-0998

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: CARE 2002 versions prior to beta 1.0.02

Description: The issue allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via .. (dot dot) sequences and null characters in the lang parameter, which is processed by a call to the include function.

Recommendations: For versions prior to beta 1.0.02, update to beta 1.0.02 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the cafenews.php file or disabling the lang parameter until a patch is available.
