Description:
A vulnerability has been reported in phpBB, which can be exploited by malicious people to inject arbitrary SQL code.
The problem is that the "search_id" parameter in "search.php" isn't verified properly, allowing malicious people to supply characters, which can be used to manipulate the SQL query.
The vulnerability has been reported in version 2.06. Prior versions may also be affected.
Solution:
Update to version 2.0.7 or later.
