CVE-2006-1895:

Direct static code injection vulnerability in includes/template.php in
phpBB allows remote authenticated users with write access to execute
arbitrary PHP code by modifying a template in a way that (1) bypasses
a loose ".*" regular expression to match BEGIN and END statements in
overall_header.tpl, or (2) is used in an eval statement by
includes/bbcode.php for bbcode.tpl.

Thanks for reporting, but "you can't trust your designer"? If you don't
trust your webdesigner, your website is riddled with cross site
scripting... For web bugs, this is comparable with "exploitable if you
don't trust root". A non-issue.

On Debian, template files can only be written to by root. I think it's
safe to close this bug. I'm asking the Security Team to add this to the
nonvulns list.
