Background

Impact

A remote attacker may be able to change settings, inject arbitrary web script or HTML, or conduct cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks.

Resolution

Gentoo Security support has been discontinued due to phpBB being dropped to unstable. As such, we recommend that users unmerge phpBB:

 # emerge --unmerge "www-apps/phpBB"

NOTE: Users could alternatively upgrade to “>=www-apps/phpBB-3.1.10”, however, these packages are not currently marked stable.
