IP.Board 3.3.x, 3.4.x Security Update

[[R] NuclearGeneral]

We are releasing patches for IP.Board 3.3.x and IP.Board 3.4.x to address two cross site scripting issues recently reported to us.

IP.Board takes precaution against cross site scripting issues by ensuring sensitive forms and buttons have a unique key in them and also by ensuring that sensitive cookie data is not readable by javascript. However, we feel that it is in our clients best interest to have these issues resolved.

To apply the patch
Simply download the attached zip for your IP.Board version and upload the files to your forum server. You do not need to run any scripts or the upgrade system.
