PHPBB Security Risk

[999gi]

Just found out someone has been trying to hack my site through a hole in the phpbb code.

So if you are running a pbpbb board and havent just updated take a look at this and get updated to version 2.11

I only heard about this when it went front page on WMW a few days ago. There is a quick fix here that you can apply if you haven't time to do the full update now (or have fiddled with too much stuff like I have ): - http://www.phpbb.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=240513

It was originally found mid November so has been around for a while, but it is serious as it allows anyone to run any file on your server.
