tag_summary = "The remote host is running vBulletin, a web based bulletin board system written
in PHP.

The remote version of this software is vulnerable to an unspecified issue. It is 
reported that versions 3.0.0 through to 3.0.4 are prone to a security flaw 
in 'includes/init.php'. Successful exploitation requires that 'register_globals' 
is enabled.

*** As OpenVAS solely relied on the banner of the remote host
*** this might be a false positive";
