Geeklog security issues (and 1.3.7sr2 update)

Authored by: ScurvyDawg on Tuesday, May 27 2003 @ 03:51 am EDT

I will do everything as you instruct but I do have one question.

With these new settings, image uploading is turned off? Is that altogether? Meaning no images uploading into the database is now allowed??

Sorry if I misunderstand, that is why I ask.

Geeklog security issues (and 1.3.7sr2 update)

The above instructions to turn off image upload are only for those who are running an old version of Geeklog. It's meant as a temporary measure prior to an upgrade to 1.3.7sr2.

If you upgrade to 1.3.7sr2 right away, you don't need to turn off image upload, since the upgrade includes fixes for this vulnerability.

And, yes, setting both $_CONF['maximagesperarticle'] and $_CONF['allow_user_photo'] to 0 will prevent any form of image upload in Geeklog (at least for the core functions - plugins are a different matter ...).

bye, Dirk
