this sucks. fecking kiddies who have nothing better to do than writing malicious scripts.
it's a worm attacking a recent vulnerability in phpBB (due to a vulnerability in php)... this had been patched, but there's so much connections with the forum that the sessions table keeps filling up... the trick is to drop the connection with the worm before it enters the sessions table...
it seems to work pretty well... i even dont see any attacks in the logs any more
well done lads!!!
I'm dealing with the same problem at the moment, can you guys offer any advice, btw, it's a phpBB on linux server.
thanks in advance
