Hi,

This advisory was already released on https://security.lss.hr, but there was a 
mistake in advisory page that marked vulnerable PHP line as HTML tag, so it wasn't
visible within web browser. That's why b0iler described it as a false positive 
(https://lists.grok.org.uk/pipermail/full-disclosure/2005-June/034408.html).
I apologize for our mistake, here is fixed advisory.
