Full Disclosure: Re: PHP file vulnerable on SMF 1.1.10

[» Ruben Alves <rubenalves () fm ul pt>]

I had the same kind of files in my SMF forum. I've never uploaded files 
with a "~" at the end. In my opinion, that happens when the admin 
updates a SMF forum (with the webadmin panel).
Anyway, the critical file "Settings.php" is not  viewable.
