    Hi everyone,
    phpBB Group announces the release of phpBB 2.0.16. This release addresses
    some bugfixes and one critical security issue. To fix this, please apply
    the following change: In viewtopic.php
    Find:
    $message = str_replace('"', '"',
    substr(@preg_replace('#(>(((?>([^><]+|(?R)))*)<))#se',
    "@preg_replace('#b(" . str_replace('\', '\\', $highlight_match) . ")b#i',
    '<span style="color:#" . $theme['fontcolor3'] . ""><b>\\1</b></span>',
    '\0')", '>' . $message . '<'), 1, -1)); Replace with:
    $message = str_replace('"', '"',
    substr(@preg_replace('#(>(((?>([^><]+|(?R)))*)<))#se',
    "@preg_replace('#b(" . str_replace('\', '\\',
    addslashes($highlight_match)) . ")b#i', '<span style="color:#" .
    $theme['fontcolor3'] . ""><b>\\1</b></span>', '\0')", '>' . $message .
    '<'), 1, -1)); If your mail program wraps the lines it is advised to get
    the fix from the official announcement at:
    http://www.phpbb.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=302011

    We urge you to update as soon as possible. You can of course find this
    download available on our downloads page
    (http://www.phpbb.com/downloads.php). As per usual three packages are
    available to simplify your update. The Full Package contains entire phpBB2
    source and English language package. The Changed Files Only contains only
    those files changed from previous versions of phpBB. Please note this
    archive contains changed files for each previous release. Patch Files
    contains patch compatible patches from the previous versions of phpBB.
    Select whichever package is most suitable for you.
    The changelog (contained within this release) is as follows:
    - Fixed critical issue with highlighting - Discovered and fix provided by
    Ron van Daal - Url descriptions able to be wrapped over more than one line
    again - Fixed bug with eAccelerator in admin_ug_auth.php
    - Check new_forum_id for existence in modcp.php - alessnet
    - Prevent uploading avatars with no dimensions - Xpert
    - Fixed bug in usercp_register.php, forcing avatar file removal without
    updating avatar informations within the database - HenkPoley - Fixed bug
    in admin re-authentication redirect for servers not having index.php as
    one of their default files set As always, our Code Changes Tutorial is
    available too for those with heavily modded boards. It can be downloaded
    from http://www.phpbb.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=301712
