Several remote vulnerabilities have been discovered in phpBB, a web-based bulletin board. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems :

  • CVE-2008-0471 Private messaging allowed cross site request forgery, making it possible to delete all private messages of a user by sending them to a crafted web page.

  • CVE-2006-6841 / CVE-2006-6508 Cross site request forgery enabled an attacker to perform various actions on behalf of a logged in user.
    (Applies to sarge only.)

  • CVE-2006-6840 A negative start parameter could allow an attacker to create invalid output. (Applies to sarge only.)

  • CVE-2006-6839 Redirection targets were not fully checked, leaving room for unauthorised external redirections via a phpBB forum. (Applies to sarge only.)

  • CVE-2006-4758 An authenticated forum administrator may upload files of any type by using specially crafted filenames. (Applies to sarge only.)
