High volume of web (mambo) scans.

Since Thursday night I’m seeing a high volume of scans
on different web servers for possibly the following vulns:

http://secunia.com/advisories/14337/http://www.osvdb.org/displayvuln.php?osvdb_id=10180

However, they say the problem is on function.php and I’m seeing them on index.php. Can anyone confirm that?
Some log samples below..

These are just a few from 15:00 nd 17:00 pm yesterday.
Interesting is that they don’t do anything else, just
try to execute it and leave (without searching for
other paths)… Btw, I’m seeing these alerts from
ossec.
