HTTP: phpBB UserID Parameter SQL Injection
This signature detects maliciously crafted requests to phpBB; phpBB versions 2.0.6 and earlier are vulnerable. Attackers can inject SQL commands into the "u" parameter in a request to profile.php and gain direct access to the database used by phpBB.
Extended Description
phpBB fails to properly handle user requests. By sending a specially crafted URL request, the attacker could execute arbitrary SQL commands on the server.
