Am I affected?
Debian, Ubuntu or Red Hat sometimes backport a fix without changing the upstream version number: such a version reads « to verify », never « affected ».With a domain, we read the version its public headers and pages expose. A distribution build can carry the fix under an older number.
Description
RiSearch 1.0.01 and RiSearch Pro 3.2.06 allows remote attackers to use the show.pl script as an open proxy, or read arbitrary local files, by setting the url parameter to a (1) http://, (2) ftp://, or (3) file:// URL.
