v1.2.0 Beta4 Released

Postby poyntesm » Wed Dec 05, 2007 4:31 pm

All,

1.2.0 Beta4 is now available. This fixes a SQL injection hole with the browse mode. I HIGHLY URGE all 1.2.0 users to upgrade ASAP.

The hacker is using search engines to find running phpBB Garages and then targeting them.

For a fresh install please down from http://forums.phpbbgarage.com/dload.php ... &cat_id=11

For a upgrade from 1.0.5 please download from http://forums.phpbbgarage.com/dload.php ... &cat_id=10

For a upgrade from 1.2.0 BetaX please just upload all files from tje fresh install ZIP.

Again sorry for the hassle. I hope this is the last security update I have to do. With me not being online as much it meant I was only aware of this issue yesterday. So I am happy enough that a 24 hour window to get a complete fix out the door.

Just also wanted to remind people that BETA software should but be used live. I run it here and I accept that risk, but you need to be fully aware of the risks.

Also please all make sure you have good backups. Mine were only 50% working. My posts/topics were not being backed up for the last year. Which is a real bummer for the site. I have resolved this issue now should I ever need it again.

So please make sure you update your sites ASAP. We phpBB Garage running on 100's of sites it appears the hackers have now spotted us :( but I hope there is no other hole at this time.

Regards
Esmond

See links below

EDIT: Hmm links removed after I calmed down

The hackers are very quick to spread the word. Please please upgrade to BETA4 ASAP. I do not want anyone else to suffer a hack.

seen those.. SUCKS, but are you sure you want that info listed here incase someone wants to try this out on some un-suspecting board?

i have the files saevd on my HD so i can test my own board... i was going to install phpbb2 and phpbbgarage 1.0.5 (latest) and make sure that is not volnurable.. (unless you have already tested that?)

just 1 thing off your plate if you havent tested the older versions
