Summary
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in phpBB. Please review the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
Resolution
Gentoo Security support has been discontinued due to phpBB being
dropped to unstable. As such, we recommend that users unmerge phpBB:
# emerge --unmerge "www-apps/phpBB"
NOTE: Users could alternatively upgrade to ">=www-apps/phpBB-3.1.10",
however, these packages are not currently marked stable.
