http://secunia.com/advisories/20902/

CRITICAL:
Less critical

IMPACT:
Exposure of sensitive information

WHERE:
From remote

SOFTWARE:
Efone
http://secunia.com/product/10806/

DESCRIPTION:
DarkFig has discovered a security issue in Efone, which can be
exploited by malicious people to disclose sensitive information.

The problem is caused due to improper restrictions to config.inc in
the "website" directory, which contains the user credentials to
access the MySQL database.

Successful exploitation requires that ".inc" is not declared as a php
suffix in httpd.conf.

The security issue has been confirmed in version 20000723. Other
versions may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Restrict web access to config.inc (e.g. with a .htaccess file).
