Just a quick note to let you know that vbulletin has released a new version to fix an exploit: 3.6.5
Thre is NO TEMPLATE changes in this new version and all of the 3.6.4 Skin will work flawlessly with 3.6.5, no need to UPGRADE

vBulletin 3.6.5

This morning, an exploit was reported, which affects vBulletin versions 3.5.x and 3.6.x. Although the report is inaccurate and the published exploit does not work as claimed unless a highly unlikely set of circumstances exist, it has highlighted a potential security issue in these vBulletin versions.

Therefore, we have decided to release updated versions, these being vBulletin 3.5.8 and 3.6.5. We recommend that all customers running vBulletin 3.5.x or 3.6.x upgrade to the appropriate version or apply the supplied patch as soon as possible.

It is worth noting that in order to exploit the problem highlighted by the report, the attacking user must satisfy the following conditions:
  • Must already have moderator privileges
  • Must share the same IP address (or the number of IP octets specified in the Admin Control Panel for IP address matching) with an existing administrator who is currently logged in to the Admin Control Panel
  • Must know the Alt-IP and user agent (exact browser identification) of the administrator
  • OR must know the license number of the site being attacked
Given these requirements, the privilege escalation exploit claimed by the report is almost impossible to achieve.
