Re: Security Advisory - phpBB 2.0.15 PHP-code injection bug

Due to a bug in the phpBB highlighting code it's possible to inject
PHP-code into the running script. E.g. It's possible to run system
commands if the PHP interpreter allows system() and simular functions.
This is actually based on an old bug which was improperly fixed in
phpBB 2.0.11. 

phpBB versions 2.0.11 through 2.0.14 don't seem affected no? it was
rather reintroduced in version 2.0.15 because they changed some things
in this part of the code
