Discussion

Drupal 'bootstrap.inc' Local File Include Vulnerability

Drupal is prone to a local file-include vulnerability because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input.

This issue occurs when Drupal is installed on a computer supporting multiple IP-based virtual hosts. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability to include specific files from outside the domain root. Information harvested may aid in further attacks.

This issue affects versions prior to Drupal 5.12 and Drupal 6.6.
