I get the following error trying to click on a member in members.asp now:

Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80040e21'

Multiple-step OLE DB operation generated errors. Check each OLE DB status value, if available. No work was done.

Well, a little too late for me. My forum has been hacked. Now what? Should I just start all over again?

I don't want to go off on a tangent here , but after installing the patch, I get the following error message from /members.asp:

quote:
Microsoft VBScript compilation error '800a03f4'

Expected 'If'

/forum/members.asp, line 59




Did I miss anything???

maku




I'm also getting this error. Reverted back to the saved one till I can figure out why I'm getting this error from the patch.

you aren't patching pop_profile.asp, so I don't know why the patch for members.asp would have any affect on it.

Instead of applying the fix could I simply download version v3.3.04 and replace my members.asp in v3.3.03 with members.asp in version v3.3.04 ?

Thanks.

Thanks Richard. Heres a couple more questions for ya.
1: Would it cause my database any problems if I changed to version v3.3.05 ?

2: Will Access cause me any problems once the forums start growing ? I have over 200 Members in just one week and 1500 posts on four forums.

My forum got "hacked" as well yesterday. If it was a real "hack" then I could extend congratulations to the person who did it, but this way I just banged my head against the wall several times for not investing 10 minutes to change several lines of code.

Richard, thank you for the fix.

Boris

Is this "security related bug-fix" a fix for this vulnerability?

I want to know if the above is a real vulnerability, and what the fix is. Thanks

Yes, the fix in this topic is a fix for that vulnerability. The fix that is suggested by that hacker is not the proper fix.

Okay...So I got hacked yesterday with this one. I have the IP mod so I know who di it, his ISP (a DSL on suwest.com), etc. He also put in the home page of Valhalla something or other, which appears to be a hack site dedicated to hating Snitz! Any ideas of what I shoudl do with this info? Is there a board of known hackers I should post his IP to?

He didn't really do anything except change the logos and links so far...I know...Fix it and move on...but I'm irked!

I don't know how I kept missing this topic.. anyway I applied the fix but have to wonder now how the vulnerability works. I read the bugtracker topic and interepreted it the way I thought it should work and before applying the fix I tried to use in on my forum but i did not see any "harmful" info. Could someone email me and give me an idea of how this exploit worked? I assure you I have no malicious intent, just extremely curious.

Did you see this: http://forum.snitz.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=26930 ? I think you can understand how the hack worked from the info there.

good info but if you can forgive me I can't seem to get how this vulnerability works with the members.asp, I tried it and could not come up with anything questionable. I was just interested in seeing what this attack could do for the wanna-be hacker that visits my site. I have applied the patch but I will continue scratching my head and read more on this general subject.

Dayve,

I've emailed you with a (hopefully) more detailed explanation. Hope it helps.

Much praise to the hard-working Administrators of this wonderful board.

My board was recently attacked by a Turkish SQL Injector, and luckily I caught him in the act as he was logged in as admin and changing the forum settings. The first thing I did was change the Admin password, and then thanks to that, he did the SQL Injection thing again, and I got the info following him through the Active Users mod.

To be perfectly honest, I was shocked at the information presented before me, so I instantly backed up my forum, and then deleted it from under him.

I then came here with the information to hand, and found the security fix for it within a matter of seconds! Many thanks to Richard Kinser for all his hard work. :)

Since adding all the fixes and changing all the moderator and administrator passwords, I have re-opened the forum.

And guess what? Today, another Turkish SQL Injector was trying it again, but he had no such luck this time, and I could laugh heartily at his attempts.

I think I will keep up to date on the fixes from now on.
