DESCRIPTION:
r0t has reported some vulnerabilities in Softbiz FAQ Script, which
can be exploited by malicious people to conduct SQL injection
attacks.

Input passed to the "id" parameter in "faq_qanda.php",
"refer_friend.php", "print_article.php", and "add_comment.php", and
the "cid" parameter in "index.php" isn't properly sanitised before
being used in a SQL query. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL
queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.

The vulnerabilities have been reported in version 1.1 and prior.
Other versions may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.
