For those not yet aware phpBB has released another update, now up to v2.0.14. Mostly some minor bug fixes, but also some potentially vulnerability patches as well. Patch up now before we see any more exploits roaming about. The ‘Official’ announcement, patch files, and more more is located here. There is also a mailing list that you can sign up for to receive email alerts of any changes or updates to the base code on their site.
For those still not running the latest version of phpBB, I suggest you update IMMEDIATELY, our boards are still taking and subsequently rejecting over 6,000 hits a day from the santy worm. If you need assistance with adding rules for your .htaccess to stop these little nasties just let me know and I’ll happily post them here for your use. They’ve been employed since the worms first showed up and have shown to be most effective, but still not a replacement for updating your software! Even extremely heavily modified forums such as ours are easily updated.
