NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream phpbb3 package and not the phpbb3 package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

Phpbb3 before 3.0.11-4 for Debian GNU/Linux uses world-writable permissions for cache files, which allows local users to modify the file contents via standard filesystem write operations.
