Patch for Post.php in Yse 1.5.5

« on: February 22, 2004, 03:05:26 PM »

We have been notified of a small hole in Post.php and as a result we have posted a patch on the downloads page.

There are two options to correct this. You can use BoardMOD to install the mod file or you can replace the default Post.php with the version in the download.

A direct link is: http://www.yabbse.org/1_5_5_post_patch.zip

A variable wasn't being forced to an integer so it was allowing injection of code if someone wanted to do so.

It is a security hole. And I don't think anything more should be posted about it. Install it to make you board more secure.

i found out the vuln on the first day it was released,
And posted in this board, And after sum minutes I was amazed to find that the thread has disappeard into thin air

Any way, I was worried, coz my board was also one at risk. So i mailed some of the developers, and thank God finally it has come out,

I am not mad coz u guys deleted the post. I know its sumthing that shud b done. coz the more ppl know about it the more threat there is... So kwel guys,

It probably was moved(to a developer/admin board), not deleted.

Would you really want people reading that thread and then using the info in it to hack yours and other people's boards?

actaully i understand it,
i was in a rush just to let you guys know that this existed,
So posted there,

no sweat,
Actaully its a nice thing,
Coz when only they find the vulns you guys b able to fix it,
So day by day this will be getting much secure,

Anyway, My idea of SMF is it RULEZZZZZZZZZ,
totally kwel,
cant wait to get my hands on it,
