Geeklog security issues (and 1.3.7sr2 update)

Authored by: Anonymous (Anonymous User) on Saturday, May 31 2003 @ 04:41 pm EDT

this really IS a serious issue

i run a 1.3.6. (in a subdirectory) and today someone hacked into my site (root) and deleted index.shtml and has put index.php instead.
(that's the way i found out about the exploit, when i got to here ... this reminds me ... there shuld be a mailinglist for admins of geek, where dirk (or someone with proper permission) could inform us about that kind of serrious issues ... maybe this mailing list could be part of geek instalation ... it could (minding user settings) automatically mail-out new articles in folder anouncments, or all of them, or something)

that means that any file can be removed by the hacker (or is it cracker)?

i made temporary changes to my geeklog, hope all goes well with upgrade in next day or so.
