http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/10701 phpBB 2.0.11 is not vulnerable to that attack. Since phpBB 2.0.11 was released in November 2004 [1] that vulnerability is only six years out of date. I also have a tough time believing that this is the first time the vulnerability has ever been disclosed on Security Focus. Unless I'm mistaken it's basically Santy [2] and given how much attention Santy received if this is the first time Security Focus is discussing it it really doesn't speak highly of Security Focus. I mean, seriously, is it too much to ask that the vulnerabilities disclosed on Security Focus are *new*?
