04/23/2012

vBulletin has released a security patch to improve the security of the
vBulletin 4 MAPI for 4.1.12 Suite & Forum as the result of a recent
internal security review. Although no exploits have been reported, we
urge our customers to upgrade as soon as possible.

The changes do not affect vBulletin 4.0.0 - 4.1.1.

This patch has been issued for vBulletin 4.1.12. A separate set of
patches have been issued for vBulletin 4.1.2 - 4.1.11.

The MAPI security improvements have been added for vBulletin 3.x with
the release of 3.x MAPI 1.4.3.

To improve the security of your vBulletin 4 installation, please
download the patch from the members area of vBulletin:

In addition to the security improvements, we've resolved the following
4.1.12 issues.
VBIV-14742 - Push notifications broken in FR 4.1.12 add-on.
VBIV-14685 - Tag in static page cause Fatal error on page with General
Search widget set to return Static Pages
VBIV-14663 - Quoting doesn't work in the mobile style
VBIV-14660 - Static HTML in CMS always displays all content
VBIV-14754 - unset($VB_API_PARAMS_TO_VERIFY['vbseourl']) to match vB3
MAPI change.
VBIV-14681 - HTML is stripped from article previews
VBIV-14667 - Category pages do not load if using basic/advanced friendly
URLs

The upgrade process requires a few additional steps for this patch level
release.
