[mxbb-news] New Security Forum Added

[mxBB P. - N. a. R. A. <mxb...@li...>]

In light of the new hacking incidents, we've launched this Security forum:
http://www.mx-system.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=52 .

As always we prefer that possible vulnerabilities be notified to us in
private. We usually ask that you provide all possible info along with
server logs in order for us to investigate into problems. Recently there
have been more than enough incidents related to this. We work hard working
towards mxBB and we always try to provide a patch release as soon as it is
possible. However, we have a small, busy team, so sometimes it is not
possible to have a patch provided within the same week of a reported
incident.

Thus, this Security forum is born. Whenever we have a completed security
report along with a patch, but do not have time to provide a proper patch
release immediately, we will post here. Only proper mxBB Project Team
members can post in here. This forum is for interim patches, and by no
means should it be a substitute for upgrading properly; whenever a new
release comes after a specific dated patch provided in this forum, you
should upgrade to that release, which is more than likely a cumulative
patch update.

We will also update each bug as it is obsoleted by a release (we will make
the specific indication of which release version as well), so be sure to
keep up-to-date with that.

If you have any comments or concerns, you are free to contact me, MHobbit,
via PM on our forums.

Thanks and good luck.

MHobbit,
mxBB Project Team Co-Leader,
on behalf of the mxBB Project Team
