Pekka Saarinen Contact

[sk0L]

hello. we (researchers at sec-consult) have discovered a critical security vulnerability in exhibit engine 1.22. i need a contact address for Pekka Saarinen as info@photography... seems to be down.
we need to get in contact with the developer to give him an opportunity to patch the flaw before it is released to the security community.

greets

You can PM me about it here. Exhibit Engine 1.22 is not supported any more so it is unlikely to get any fixes, other than updating to latest version 1.5RC4.

That means you do not have lock privileges in MySQL. Lock privileges are basic privileges and usually they are lost by common mistake server admins do when upgrading MySQL 3 to version 4. Contact your server support and request lock privileges for your mysql user (the one you have in connect.php).

About email: I have had to close down majority of my emails due to spam attacks. Please use PM or this forum for messaging about EE.
