Forum upgrade done (01 March 2005)

Post by nF »

Forum upgrading in process now.
Ironing out security vulnerability.

Stuff ironed out will be:

Changes since 2.0.11

* Prevented full path display on critical messages
* Fixed full path disclosure in username handling caused by a PHP 4.3.10 bug
* Added exclude list to unsetting globals (if register_globals is on)
* Fixed arbitrary file disclosure vulnerability in avatar handling functions
* Fixed arbitrary file unlink vulnerability in avatar handling functions
* Removed version number from powered by line
* Merged database update files to update_to_latest.php file
* Fixed path disclosure bug in search.php caused by a PHP 4.3.10 bug
* Fixed path disclosure bug in viewtopic.php caused by a PHP 4.3.10 bug

And

Changes since 2.0.12

* Ommitted preg_replace warning in viewtopic due to improper working of preg_quote in PHP
* Fixed high severity issue in session handling allowing everyone gaining administrator rights.
* Minimum requirements raised to PHP 4.0.3 or above due to fixing vulnerability issues breaking PHP3 compatibility.

Hi YJ
I noticed that between just now when you were "upgrading" to now when you are "done"...the online status has disappeared. was this deliberate?
we used to be able to see if a user is online by a status button on the bottom left...

Hi,

Ha Ha... :k-chuckle: Hope that Censorship Board didn't see your signature... It may give your signature a "PG" rating.. hee hee :k-lol: :k-lol:

Thanks for your hard work and have a nice day.
