ports/66150: [PATCH] SECURITY UPDATE ports/www/phpbb for IP spoofing vulnerablity

Sat May 1 10:57:22 PDT 2004

Also, I hope the attached patch, which mitigates session table exhaustion
which could be used in a DDoS attack after the above patch to get its
way into phpbb/files so it will be automatically patched.

I suggest to add the following item to be added into vuxml:

  <vuln vid=(A newly generated UUID?)>
    <topic>phpBB ession table exhaustion</topic>
    <affects>
      <package>
	<name>phpbb</name>
	<range><le>2.0.8_2</le></range>
      </package>
    </affects>
    <description>
      <body xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
	<p>The includes/sessions.php unnecessarily adds session item into
	session table and therefore vulnerable to a DDoS attacK.</p>
	</body>
