Hi Folks
Given the recent flurry of Joomla updates - just thought I'd add a link here regarding a patch available for 1.5
joomlacode.org/gf/project/joomla/tracker/?action=TrackerItemEdit&tracker_item_id=31626
"There is a security issue in all versions of Joomla related to unauthorized file
uploads.
Although 1.5. is end of life you can fix by replacing the files impacted with those in the attached zip.
Note: Please use the UploadFix15v3.zip file. (as the older Files cannot be removed from joomlacode.).
Note also this is NOT an installable zip file, you have to extract the zip file and manually upload the enclosed files into place."
As with any update you want to ensure you have a backup of the site / files before manually updating the files
Cheers
Paul
