It seems like it's hunting season for IPB.
As much as it's a pain to have to keep releasing updates, it'd be even worse to not release them.

Exactly right. Thanks.

It is better to know something is being done as soon as these things are discovered than not to do anything just because some users don't want to upgrade or because it would mean IPB has security issues.
Again, thank you.

Matt,
Are you still considering the security audit for IPB? If you do get it, I think you should finish IPB 2.1.0 final completely, and before you release it to customers have it audited first.

If you ask me i will say it is up to the singel user if the wan to test the 2.1 or not, if they wanna be secure stay with 2.0.4 but if they test 2.1 the are not securet...

Do you get an error of anykind?
I checked the fixes before releasing them as I have a separate IPB 2.0.4 test board.

Matt, everytime we have a new Release, could you please add the files as an upgrade kit in the Client Centre, Even perhaps Increment the version number. This would encourage people to upgrde to the next Release more I think.

I have a question about this lastest security patch. It says to apply the sources/lib/usercp_functions.php edit to the spot for the user's avatar, but similar code exists in the spot for user's photo as well:
CODE
//-----------------------------------------
// Check to make sure we don't just have
// http:// in the URL box..
//-----------------------------------------
if ( preg_match( "/^http://$/i", $ibforums->input['url_photo'] ) )
{
$ibforums->input['url_photo'] = "";
}
Is this function not prone to the same exploit that the official patch was for? Shouldn't the patch be applied here as well?
