phpbb: new exploit

A new exploit has been found on the phpbb 2.x software, which has been rated as "moderately critical".

As reported in the Secunia security advisory phpBB Avatar Functions Information Disclosure and Deletion:

The vulnerabilities are caused due to some unspecified errors in the avatar handling functions and may be exploited to disclose and delete arbitrary files.

Some issues disclosing the full path to certain scripts have also been reported.

This means that phpbb 2.0.12 has now been released, with more information available here: phpBB 2.0.12 released
