Geeklog 1.6.0sr1 and 1.5.2sr5

Geeklog 1.6.0sr1 and 1.5.2sr5 address the following security issues:

  1. Gerendi Sandor Attila reported an XSS in the forms to email a user and to email a story to a friend.
  2. The "Mail Story to a Friend" function didn't check story permissions, so that it was possible to email a story even if you didn't have the permissions to view it on the site.

For Geeklog 1.6.0, we also fixed two bugs (an SQL error when the story submission queue was off and a call to a nonexistent function).

The following files are available:

When logging on to my site www.suzyq.ca, I get the following message. Can anyone advise what this means.

Message:
Warning: fopen(/home/mysuzie/logs/error.log) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/mysuzie/public_html/lib-common.php on line 1521
An SQL error has occured. Please see error.log for details.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you
Sue

First of all: Please do not post support request on completely unrelated articles. That's what our forums are for. Thanks.

You seem to have two problems: An SQL error occurs. Geeklog tries to log it, but you didn't make the error.log file writable. To fix the latter, please refer to the installation instructions again - all the files and directories that have to be writable are listed there. Once you did that, try again and if the error occurs again, post the error message in a new forum post.

Hi.

As for 1.5.2sr5, is there plan to full release tar ball?
I found some more changes with 1.5.2sr5, such as documentation update,
but they aren't included in these update archive files.

Best regards.

We only provide complete tarballs for the current version - and that's 1.6.0 now.

I see.

But I wish updated documentation to be included in the update archive.

Best regards.
