Re: Multiple Vulnerabilities in Invision Power Board v1.3.1 Final.

Dear Mike,

The CSS vulnerabilities are based on previous versions of IPB,
the vendor did not feel to fix them with update 1.3 > 1.3.1 final.
see http://securityfocus.com/bid/9768

Multiple SQL Injection Vulnerabilities were already found in IPB,
http://securityfocus.com/bid/7290
http://securityfocus.com/bid/9232

The problem that the vendor did fix was a vulnerability in the calendar.
http://securityfocus.com/bid/9353

In history IPB was more than once vulnerable to SQL injections of the
same type, so there is no reason to provide them with old information.

An other reason is that those kinds of vulns. are common, old news....
a query in google results in 100.000 full instructions to exploit them,
for ISP's it's quite easy to block these requests and minimize the risks.
