AusCERT Security Bulletin Summary
---------------------------------
Product: phpbb3
Publisher: Debian
Operating System: Debian GNU/Linux
Debian GNU/Linux 8
UNIX variants (UNIX, Linux, OSX)
Windows
Impact/Access: Denial of Service -- Remote/Unauthenticated
Resolution: Patch/Upgrade
CVE Names: CVE-2019-9826
Original Bulletin:
https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts-announce/2019/05/msg00004.html
Comment: This advisory references vulnerabilities in products which run on
platforms other than Debian. It is recommended that administrators
running phpbb3 check for an updated version of the software for
their operating system.
- --------------------------BEGIN INCLUDED TEXT--------------------
Package : phpbb3
Version : 3.0.12-5+deb8u3
CVE ID : CVE-2019-9826
Colin Snover discovered a denial-of-service vulnerability in phpBB3, a
full-featured web forum. Previous versions allowed users to run searches
that might result in long execution times and load on larger boards when
using the fulltext native search engine. To combat this, further
restrictions were introduced on search queries.
For Debian 8 "Jessie", this problem has been fixed in version
3.0.12-5+deb8u3.
We recommend that you upgrade your phpbb3 packages.
