Kaspersky Lab has detected a new worm which propagates using a vulnerability in phpBB, which is used to create Internet forums. The vulnerability is present in phpBB versions up to 2.0.11.

The worm overwrites all .asp, .php, .htm and .shtm files on infected websites with its own code.

Further information will be available in the Virus Encyclopaedia in the near future.

All users of phpBB are recommended to update to version 2.0.11

This new worm does not represent any threat to users visiting infected sites as it will not infect computers being used to view infected sites.

An urgent update to Kaspersky Anti-Virus databases has already been issued.
