Foros "inc/config.inc" Information Disclosure Security Issue

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/20945/

CRITICAL:
Moderately critical

IMPACT:
Exposure of sensitive information

WHERE:
From remote

SOFTWARE:
Foros 1.x
http://secunia.com/product/10812/

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

The problem is caused due to improper restrictions to
"inc/config.inc", which contains the user credentials to access the
MySQL database and the administration section.

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

The security issue has been reported in 1.0. Other versions may also
be affected.

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