Title: SMF 2.0.5 critical security patch released
Post by: Oldiesmann on August 12, 2013, 08:34:06 PM
Dear users,

Simple Machines Forum is pleased to announce the next security update for the SMF 2.0 product line.

To ensure the continued security of your forum it is advised that you update to SMF 2.0.5 without delay. These vulnerabilities do not impact the SMF 1.1.X branch.

If you are running 2.0.4, you can update your forum to 2.0.5 using the built in package manager. You should see the upgrade notification in the admin panel and in the package manager, allowing you to download and install seamlessly. If you don't have a notification about the update, please run the scheduled task "Fetch Simple Machines files" from the administration panel (Admin -> Maintenance -> Scheduled Tasks). You can also download the update for 2.0.4 from the customize site (http://custom.simplemachines.org/upgrades/): smf_patch_2.0.5.tar.gz, and install it using the package manager.

If you use an older version of SMF, you can upgrade it with the full upgrade packages from the downloads page (http://download.simplemachines.org/). Note that this will remove all installed mods! It is recommended to use the patch as described above.

As always you can find more instructions on our wiki:
upgrading (http://wiki.simplemachines.org/smf/Upgrading)
patching (http://wiki.simplemachines.org/smf/Patching)

Support is available to all users for this upgrade, but it will only be provided in the support board: http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?board=147.0
Please do not use this topic for support related inquiries. 

Charter Members can file a ticket for any assistance or assisted upgrades through the help desk.

Thank you,
SMF Team

Not sure if your post was intended as flamebait, but either way: No, it's not related.
That should already become clear the moment you read that announcement. :)

It wasn't meant to be flame bait, and I know it's not related. It's pretty clear, but there were still people in that thread that didn't manage to understand it regardless of how clear it was!

Ah, good :)
Yes, there were. And I'm afraid, as Runic points out, there always will be. :(

But... That won't stop SMF from making awesome releases when deemed necessary of course! :)

As a reminder, please run the "Fetch Simple Machines Files" task if you don't see upgrade notifications:
Admin -> Maintenance -> Scheduled Tasks
Check the box in the "Run Now" column next to "Fetch Simple Machines Files" (3rd from the bottom of the list)
Click the "Run Now" button

4 sites with 2 different theme, and a combined total of over 200 mods (But, all 4 use same, so mod count is actually about 50. :P ).

Update installed perfectly.

Had to do the above listed Run Now on 2, but everything worked fine. :)

I used the mod parser to see what was in it :)

The pedant within me was simply querying why the phrase "These vulnerabilities" was used when no such vulnerabilities are actually mentioned.

First of all, thank you very much for SMF support.
Now, the questions: must I uninstall my mods (10) and reinstall after the upgrade?
My site has got many mods translated in spanish in separate php files with spanish strings. Will I lose translations?
I am worried because I've made a big modification with a customized theme and SMF Gallery Pro.

Thank you.

I'm using he update your forum link from the admin area and I keep getting this.

Not Acceptable

An appropriate representation of the requested resource /index.php could not be found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

I normally use IE and was getting a window with no real info in it, so I tried FF and got the above. All my sites are doing it but all are functiong just fine.

That would - how ever - not limit any approximate gratitude.

ummm....  Why the heck are you asking this question in the version release announcement thread?  This thread is not for support and your questions and comments have nothing at all to do with the release.

We have upgraded to 2.0.4 and then to 2.0.5 few days ago, I logged in today in the admin page and I see this:

Version Information:
Forum version: SMF 2.0.5
Current SMF version: SMF 1.1.18

Why is the current pointing to 1.1.x ? Is there a way to fix this? May this cause any problems with future upgrades?

Because your SMF had a problem while fetching the latest version from the sm.org servers.
Nothing to worry about, it will clean up by itself.

there were no changes to template files

as for your question - it is not relevant to the security patch - but no. If you add a new theme, any mods which affect the templates used by that theme would have to be manually applied

The fact this topic is out and says that '2.0.5 patch is released'... yes, SMF is on 2.0.5.

Dear users,

Simple Machines Forum is pleased to announce the next security update for the SMF 2.0 product line.

To ensure the continued security of your forum it is advised that you update to SMF 2.0.5 without delay. These vulnerabilities do not impact the SMF 1.1.X branch.

If you are running 2.0.4, you can update your forum to 2.0.5 using the built in package manager. You should see the upgrade notification in the admin panel and in the package manager, allowing you to download and install seamlessly. If you don't have a notification about the update, please run the scheduled task "Fetch Simple Machines files" from the administration panel (Admin -> Maintenance -> Scheduled Tasks). You can also download the update for 2.0.4 from the customize site (http://custom.simplemachines.org/upgrades/): smf_patch_2.0.5.tar.gz, and install it using the package manager.

If you use an older version of SMF, you can upgrade it with the full upgrade packages from the downloads page (http://download.simplemachines.org/). Note that this will remove all installed mods! It is recommended to use the patch as described above.

As always you can find more instructions on our wiki:
upgrading (http://wiki.simplemachines.org/smf/Upgrading)
patching (http://wiki.simplemachines.org/smf/Patching)

Support is available to all users for this upgrade, but it will only be provided in the support board: http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?board=147.0
Please do not use this topic for support related inquiries. 

Charter Members can file a ticket for any assistance or assisted upgrades through the help desk.

Thank you,
SMF Team

Can this package used to upgrade from 2.0.2?
Title: Re: SMF 2.0.5 critical security patch released
Post by: Kindred on October 14, 2013, 12:37:44 PM
the patch PACKAGE from the package manager? No.
The patches must be applied from version to next version
2.0.2 -> 2.0.3 -> 2.0.4 -> 2.0.5

The large upgrade archive CAN be applied to ANY previous version - but will remove all of your mods in the process.

If I upgrade from
2.0.2 -> 2.0.3 -> 2.0.4 -> 2.0.5, I won't lose mods?
Title: Re: SMF 2.0.5 critical security patch released
Post by: Arantor on October 14, 2013, 01:09:01 PM
Correct, if you use the patches to go from version to version (and NOT the large upgrade) you will not lose mods.

Thanks for the help with it mate.

if you use the PATCH files in the PACKAGE MANAGER, no, you won't lose mods....

If you use ANY of the "large upgrade" archives, then yes.. you will

Also it might be worth locking this; it's been two months since this was announced.
