You might noticed several short outages these days, we worked hard night and day to find the real problem, we noticed that the moderation process didn't close its connections to the VHFFS database causing the postgresql server to refuse any new connection, ho shame shame shame...

So, now we hope it is the true cause and no downtime will happen during the next days.

PunBB "redirect_url" Parameter Handling Cross Site Scripting Vulnerability

Publicado el sábado 6 mayo 2006, a 12:52 UTC

News from FrSIRT :

A vulnerability has been identified in PunBB, which could be exploited by attackers to execute arbitrary scripting code. This flaw is due to an input validation error in the "misc.php" script that does not validate the "redirect_url" parameter, which could be exploited by attackers to cause arbitrary scripting code to be executed by the user's browser in the security context of an affected Web site.

There is currently no patch available.
