Advanced Poll info.php Vulnerability Scan
Vulnerability Scan Summary Searches for the existence of info.php
Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Test
The remote host is running Chien Kien Uong's Advanced Poll,
a simple Poll system using PHP.
By default, this utility includes two files called info.php,
located in [path to poll]/db/misc/info.php and
[path to poll]/text/misc/info.php.
This files make a call to phpinfo() which display a lot of information
about the remote host and how PHP is configured.
A possible hacker may use this flaw to gain a more intimate knowledge
about the remote host and better prepare its attacks.
Solution : Delete these two files
Threat Level: Low
