Security advisories for phpAdsNew & blogging software

[PhoneMistress]

Thanks for the heads up.

If you are using WordPress, you need to upgrade to the 1.5.1.3. immediately. It is the only version that is not vulnerable.

I just upgraded my phpadsnew this morning, yet I still feel vulnerable, but in an emotional sense, not a server security sense.

Thanks UW for the info!

Do you just have to replace that file or all files when you upgrade to the new version?

Thank airdick, not me.

Your best bet is to just upgrade to the newest stable package. Download the new version. Untar or unzip it, back-up your old config.inc.php. Upload the new package to your server allowing it to overwrite all of the old files. Upload the old config.inc.php, which will overwrite the new one you just uploaded. Chmod that config.inc.php to 777. Log in to your phpadsnew control panel and proceed from there. It's quick and painless, just a couple of clicks. When it's complete (like 15-30 seconds later), chmod the config.inc.php back to 644. You're done.
