From the notice:
Hi everyone,
phpBB Group announces the release of phpBB 2.0.16. This release addresses some bugfixes and one critical security issue. To fix this, please apply the following change:
In viewtopic.php
Find:
$message = str_replace('"', '"', substr(@preg_replace('#(>(((?>([^><]+|(?R)))*)<))#se', "@preg_replace('#b(" . str_replace('\', '\\', $highlight_match) . ")b#i', '<span style="color:#" . $theme['fontcolor3'] . ""><b>\\1</b></span>', '\0')", '>' . $message . '<'), 1, -1));
Replace with:
$message = str_replace('"', '"', substr(@preg_replace('#(>(((?>([^><]+|(?R)))*)<))#se', "@preg_replace('#b(" . str_replace('\', '\\', addslashes($highlight_match)) . ")b#i', '<span style="color:#" . $theme['fontcolor3'] . ""><b>\\1</b></span>', '\0')", '>' . $message . '<'), 1, -1));
If your mail program wraps the lines it is advised to get the fix from the official announcement at:
