just got this off my hosts.........


Firstly, Merry xmas.

Secondly, a recent exploit in phpBB has been found where a worm has been created. if you use phpBB, please ensure it is upgraded to the latest stable release from www.phpbb.com

This is an urgent requirement, to stop this exploit from spreading and deteriating service on the servers. Failure to comply with this request may mean that we will need to suspend your site to ensure the worm doesnt affect us, or spread further.

We appreciate your assistance in this serious matter. Those of you that installed your phpBB via fantastico can use the one click upgrade button.

Regards
Admin

We don't, do you have any details on the exploit just so I can check it doesn't affect this base code as well?
