now says upgrading forum software

 

[Martyn]

Chill guys, it's not serious. Vbulletin posted a security alert

A flaw within a side query that is used in the search UI has recently been discovered that affects all versions of vBulletin 4 Forum Classic and vBulletin 4 Publishing Suite. This flaw may enable malicious individuals to inject sql that would allow you to run arbitrary queries on the db via this exploit. This is a new exploit and while similar, unrelated to one previously rectified in April. To resolve this issue, it has been necessary to release a patch level version on all versions of vBulletin 4.X. The issue does not affect vBulletin 3.X to the best of our knowledge.

We were just slow at installing ther patch (my fault). Script kiddies search google for sites running vulnerable software versions and think it's fun to do this.

Give me 10 minutes, I'll patch it now.

 

[MrHappymoose]

That's good news Martyn

 

[Lynx]

Clearly a problem has arisen as it now says "database error" when you try and open the site.

 

[Martyn]

Worry not.

Tis but a scratch.

 

[Lynx]

Might this software upgrade also resolve the speed issues Martyn?

 

[Martyn]

....annnnnd we're back.
