Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Test

Synopsis :

involving the 'ftpshut' utility and the other in mod_sql's
'SQLShowInfo' directive. Exploitation of either requires involvement
on the part of a site administrator and can lead to information
disclosure, denial of service, and even a compromise of the affected
system.
