Smf 1.0.8 Update

[jayson]

Simple Machines is happy to release a new update to Simple Machines 1.0. This update will fix a vulnerability that was recently discovered in PHP (malfunctioning zend_hash_del_key_or_index() function). Also included are a small number of bug fixes found since 1.0.7. The vulnerability exists in PHP versions below 4.4.3 and 5.1.4.

 

We encourage everyone to upgrade their forum to 1.0.8 and all server administrators to upgrade their PHP to at least 4.4.3 or 5.1.4.

 

As this is a critical release, you can easily upgrade by one of the following ways:

Use the package manager in your administration center - one click, and you're done.

Download the update archive file, and upload all of the files from it.

Download the modification file attached to this message, and manually modify the files according to it.
