YOu could give secutiry updates link of phpbb dot com homepage. Not only phpbb 2.0.15 has security exploits even 2.0.16 also has one or more problem and phpbb has already released 2.0.17 sometime ago fixing all the exploits found so far and have advised all the software users to upgrade their forums/boards as soon as possible.
I was updating one of the boards from 2.0.10 to 2.0.17 it took more than 2 hours to finish all the updates and now I can sleep peacefully.
Those who haven't updated their boards can look for upgrade mods which is good for those who installed many mods in their boards. Look out for those mods from phpbb dot come homepage.
As with all other software and scripts, PHPbb also has a long history of vulnerabilities. But it is better than others because of quick developer community reponce towards new found security loopholes.
PHPbb issues are fixed generally very less time then other systems. and that is why I like PHPbb.
For the user, it is always a good practice to bookmark the PHPbb homepage to get the update news at time.
This piece of news only affect Vietnamese users as the Vietnam language package was infected with
malware trojan called e Xorer, and so if you downloaded this language pack in the last few weeks run
a scan and the trojan should be picked up. Although this trojan is only a couple of months old and
so I don't think everyone has something for it, but check at your vendors website and see if
they have a solution for it. As for the cause of this infected plugin, they assume the authors
computer was infected at the time when they upload this plugin to the mozilla website...
Cpanel Exploit
- security hole in cPanel to hack the servers of a hosting company (8)
A pair days ago I read this new on Slashdot: cPanel Exploit Used to Circulate IE Exploit
QUOTE "In a dangerous combination of unpatched exploits, hackers have used a previously
undiscovered security hole in cPanel to hack the servers of a hosting company and use hundreds of
hijacked sites to infect Internet Explorer users with malware using the unpatched VML exploit.
cPanel, whose hosting automation software is used by many large hosting companies, has issued a fix.
It's a local exploit, meaning the attacker must control a cPanel account on the target hosti...
I just got a new laptop, and of course it's loaded with vista. Everything works awesomly!
(my last PC was from 2001, BIG DIFF.) But the damned thing compulsivly and automatically sets
Internet Explorer to my default browser and won't let me change certain things which browsers
will typically handle. 've manually changed it so Firefox handles all the stuff except HTTPS

On monday it was reported that Quicktime 7.2 and 7.3 versions come with a new exploit in which
malware could on to a person's computer through streaming videos. They only mention that XP and
Vista are the only affect systems and no word came about on the Mac operating system. They mention
that a buffer overflow bug was made in which it "contains a stack buffer overflow vulnerability in
the way Quicktime handles the RTSP Content-Type header." For those who don't know what RTSP is,
RTSP is the Real-Time Streaming Protocol which apple uses for its QuickTime softw...

Well lets start off by saying these 2 people are complete morons. The first guy who had this thing
loaded up on the internet so it could be shown on how it works and not securing it so it
couldn't be downloaded. Does a home server ring a bell? guess not. second guy for downloading
it and then uploading it to his site with the excuse that "he thought it would be useful to other
security professionals looking for ways to illustrate just how dangerous a scripting attack can be."
Now this code has been found on several websites and now could be use to hijack web brow...

A friend of mine was temporarily banned from the computers at my school a while ago after he
accidentially found a way into Task Manager, which is disabled on our network. He has had his
permissions restored now, but has no idea why he got banned in the first place. However, recently he
explained what he did to me, and I tested it. I soon found out that, by accident, we had both
discovered that there is a Security Exploit in networking Windows XP Professional. The exploit is
to do with network permissions. Windows XP recieves the permission data from the network as soon...
