Fromthe ultimatebb homepage installation instructions:
D) Create a Members directory. All of the files in the Members folder of your ZIP file should be stored in another directory on your web server. You should create a new directory called "Members" on your web server to store these Members CGI files. It is imperative that you name this directory Members (exactly); otherwise, the UBB will not function properly. You should place this directory either as a subdirectory of your CGI directory or above the web root, for security reasons. Once you have created this new directory, upload all of the files in the Members folder into it. These files must be uploaded in ASCII mode, not BINARY. So to fix this bug, all one has to do is place the Members directory outside the web root. ----- Original Message ----- From: Sean Malloy <sean () EMAX COM AU> To: <BUGTRAQ () SECURITYFOCUS COM> Sent: Monday, November 29, 1999 7:08 PM Subject: Ultimate Bulletin Board v5.3x?
