I agree with vinyl-junkie in his appreciation of Charter's quick and hard work as a response to a security issue.

Forgive me though to sigh: I'll have to upgrade the DB and I'll have to carefully review the 5 PhpDig scripts that I have customized for my site, because they are all affected by this upgrade. That is going to take more than a couple of hours...

I understand that careful wording is required in this forum concerning a security issue, but it sort of leaves me in the fog, not understanding exactly what risk there is, from where I might expect an attack and what I should do first to secure my system.

Is it thát serious that I should shutdown search for my user community? Or should I even remove all PhpDig 1.8.3 scripts from the system? I'm not going to do anything before I understand at least a little bit what's going on. I'm a developer, not a security expert, so I do not immediately see what might be happening...
