This exact request does not seem to work, but a similar case has already been reported by someone who called himself Nemesis. I have to admit that it does still work with the installer for Geeklog 1.6.0 (currently in beta). We will address that ASAP.

These two have been fixed in the 1.6.0 installer.
-:: Solution ::- I didn't bother to find one, sorry.
A simple solution is to follow the installation instructions, which strongly recommend removing the install script after a successful install. There are also further checks and reminders about this built into Geeklog.
Disclosure Information: - Vulnerabilities found and confirmed between 1st and 3rd June 2009. - Published at InterN0T the 3rd June 2009. - Bugtraq contacted the 3rd June 2009.
A "Vender contacted" somewhere in between there would have been nice. We do take security very seriously and we do give proper credits. regards, Dirk Haun (for the Geeklog Team) -- http://www.geeklog.net/ http://www.geeklog.net/staticpages/index.php/GeeklogSecurity
