debian lts
Calendar Grey September 30, 2019
Dist Debian Esm H88
In phpBB, inadequate validation of CSRF tokens can lead to vulnerabilities; it's crucial to update your packages to enhance security.
In phpBB, includes/acp/acp_bbcodes.php had improper verification of a CSRF token on the BBCode page in the Administration Control Panel

Summary

The description in this DLA does not match what has been documented in
the changelog.Debian.gz of this package version. After the upload of
phpbb3 3.0.12-5+deb8u4, it became evident that CVE-2019-13776 has not yet
been fixed. The correct fix for CVE-2019-13776 has been identified and
will be shipped in a soon-to-come follow-up security release of phpbb3.

For Debian 8 "Jessie", these problems have been fixed in version
3.0.12-5+deb8u4.

We recommend that you upgrade your phpbb3 packages.
