phpBB <= 2.0.19 Multiple DoS vulnerabilities

/*
--------------------------------------------------------
[N]eo [S]ecurity [T]eam [NST]® - Advisory #18 - 03/03/06
--------------------------------------------------------
Program: phpBB
Homepage: http://www.phpbb.com
Vulnerable Versions: All phpBB versions
Risk: High Risk!!
Impact: Multiple DoS Vulnerabilities.

-==phpBB Multiple DoS Vulnerabilities ==-
---------------------------------------------------------

- Description
---------------------------------------------------------
phpBB is a high powered, fully scalable, and highly customizable
Open Source bulletin board package. phpBB has a user-friendly
interface, simple and straightforward administration panel, and
helpful FAQ. Based on the powerful PHP server language and your
choice of MySQL, MS-SQL, PostgreSQL or Access/ODBC database servers,
phpBB is the ideal free community solution for all web sites.

- Tested
---------------------------------------------------------
many forums

- Explotation
---------------------------------------------------------
profile.php << By registering as many users as you can. The registration has to 
ve deactived the security code image.
search.php << by searching in a way that the db couln't observe it.

This vulnerability has discovered in the version 2.0.15 but it works in all 
versions if the security image code is not activ
ated. The exploits used were published some months ago, you can check it out in 
www.neosecurityteam.net
