Possible phpBB problem

I saw this on another forum that I belong to. I know a lot of teams use phpBB so you might want to be aware of this.

Just a quick heads-up to all of you running a phpBB forum: there is a very serious security vulnerability in all versions of phpBB up to and including version 2.0.10. The latest version (2.0.11) is now available from phpbb.com which corrects the problem, so you need to update your installation as soon as possible.

If you can’t update straight away, at least apply the fix as described here:

Thanks a lot for this info. I knew phpBB was up to 2.0.11 but didn’t know it was because of a major security flaw. Personally I don’t use this board system, but it’s nice to be aware of the ones I view to be more cautious.
