Posted by: Justin, March 18, 2003, 5:47pm
Current Bug Status:  Fixed at 6:41pm (CST) March 18th, 2003 (less than one hour after bug was found)

Download the fix for E-Blah at the following location:

Reason for Release

This is a MAJOR bug that has just been exposed, it has already been fixed and repaired on various other forums, and there should be new source code to patch this bug by the end of today.  What this bug does is allow anyone to have a picture on their message that links to the Profile save page.  And if you are an administrator, they become an Administrator (if they select it).  This is a major bug and should not be looked at lightly.  This may be the cause of various boards having administrators deleted.

It's not a virus. It is a bug, saying that there is a exploit in the blah code which can make anyone an admin if they so wish.
