[VIM] Minor nit - Unclassified NewsBoard SQL injection

VDBs are describing the Unclassified NewsBoard SQL injection issue
from a few days ago by saying that the DateFrom parameter is
affected.  They seem to have missed DateUntil:

1) In the title of rgod's advisory :) it says:

     Unclassified NewsBoard 1.5.3 patch level 3 "DateFrom" &
     "DateUntil" blind SQL injection

2) Then:

     vulnerable code near lines 393-454 in search.inc.php: "DateFrom"
     and "DateUntil" arguments are not properly sanitized before to be
     passed to a query

3) Then:

     http://[target]/[path]/forum.php?req=search&Query=suntzu&ResultView=2&Sort=2&DateFrom=[SQL]&DateUntil=[SQL]&Forum=0


The bulk of the advisory concentrates on "DateFrom", so that must be
what happened.  Not that people would just derive their descriptions
from someone else's analysis... oh no, that NEVER happens ;-)
