phpBB.de

We promised working feeds for phpBB 3.0.7. Sadly, we were not able to
deliver on that promise - a critical bug in the permission handling for
feeds slipped past. To all people who already have updated to 3.0.7, it
is of critical importance to update to 3.0.7-PL1. Otherwise, it is
possible for users to bypass permission settings under the following
circumstances:

- Feeds are enabled
- Any of the posts or topics feeds are enabled
- The unauthorised user - or one of the groups they are a member of -
has forum permissions set on a private forum
- If you have excluded a forum from the list of forums that provide
feeds, it is unaffected
The fix for the issue is a single line change inside of feed.php, line
525 has changed from:

Code: Alles auswählen

$forum_ids = array_keys($auth->acl_getf('f_read'));

to:

$forum_ids = array_keys($auth->acl_getf('f_read', true));

There were no other changes, in particular neither style nor language
changes.
