phpBB Group are pleased to announce the release of phpBB 2.0.12 the "Horray for Furrywood" release. This release addresses a number of bugs and a couple of potential exploits. It also adds a new feature in the form of an ACP based version checker (maintainers of language packages please take note of the need for the additional localised string!).
Please note, the exploits of which we've been notified and which are addressed in 2.0.12 are in absolutely no way to blame for the loss of
www.phpbb.com which we are still extremely confident was the fault of an outdated awstats and kernel.
However one of the potential exploits addressed in this release could be serious in certain situations and thus we urge all users, as always, to upgrade to this release as soon as possible. Mostly this release is concerned with eliminating disclosures of information which while useful in debug situations may allow third parties to gain information which could be used to do harm via unknown or unfixed exploits in this or other applications.
Note that for security reasons, the little 'Powered by phpBB' line at the bottom of every page on phpBB boards will no longer include the version number.
