Ref: CVE-2006-2395

The following "dispute"  is probably more of a clarification, sine the
vendor's web site has an announcement that specifically mentions SECUNIA
SA20087 and says a fix is available.  My read is: "Pixaria is not the
developer, only the distributor."

See the CVE description afterwards, which quotes from the relevant
advisory.

Disputed vulnerability: Pixaria, PopPhoto

To whom it may concern,

I wish to dispute the vulnerability listed for PopPhoto for the
following reasons:

1) PopPhoto is NOT a product of Pixaria.  It was a product of PopSoft
Digital and is only hosted by Pixaria as a courtesy since it was
withdrawn last year.

2) PopPhoto, the product with the vulnerability, is obsolete and has
not been available to the public for nearly a year.

3) The vulnerability listed was patched by the previous vendor and
all previous users have received this update.

Listing the vulnerability as something associated with Pixaria - my
company - is having a negative effect on my business when it's
nothing to do with me.

Regards,

Jamie Longstaff
Pixaria Software

PHP remote file inclusion vulnerability in
resources/includes/popp.config.loader.inc.php in PopPhoto Studio 3.5.4
and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary PHP code via
a URL in the include_path parameter (cfg['popphoto_base_path']
variable).  NOTE: the developer of this product is not Pixaria, as
claimed by some sources.
