I think this deserves own CVE-identifier as Joomla did announce security vulnerability. As far as I know the 
vulnerability was described as "Information Disclosure" not patch disclosure. Path disclosures should be fixed from 
software also, but usually it is a problem in web-server configuration. Do you have more information about issue 
CVE-2011-2488? Still no reply from Joomla security team regarding issue CVE-2011-2488. I asked more details nearly a 
week ago.

Btw. I would use domain example.org in advisories if I were you. You might not always want to keep that attacker.in 
domain.
