Andreas Beckmann discovered that phpBB, a web forum, as installed in
Debian, sets incorrect permissions for cached files, allowing a
malicious local user to overwrite them.
For the oldstable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in
version 3.0.7-PL1-4+squeeze1.
For the stable distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in
version 3.0.10-4+deb7u1.
For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in

We recommend that you upgrade your phpbb3 packages.
