There is a path disclosure in status.php of Turba module at Horde 2.1,
you get this:

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object 
in /opt/local/apache/htdocs/horde/turba/status.php on line 12

NOTE: i observed that this only occur in Turba....

This is a bit of a silly advisory ... the recommended production
deployment for PHP is to point run-time error logging to a file,
and not the script output.

Have a look at the 'display_errors' and 'log_errors' entries
in your php.ini.  Once you set these appropriately, any PHP errors
(including the above) will be safely stored in a log-file for the
admin to look at.
