WHM error while adding IP address – Skipping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx already added
Recently, I faced a problem to add an IP address from WHM. I received the following error while adding an IP address:
All Requested Ips were already active
System has 0 free ips.
Skipping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx .. already added
But when I checked in IP Functions -> Show/Edit Reserved IPs, it was not listed in it. To resolve this I followed the below steps:
[1] Checked chkconfig for ipaliases:
I checked chkconfig for ipaliases and it was on for 2, 3, 4, 5.
chkconfig –list ipaliases
[2] Restarted ipaliases service:
After checking chkconfig, I restarted ipaliases service using following command:
/etc/init.d/ipaliases restart
This did the trick and all IP addresses were displaying again on Show/Edit Reserved IPs page.

phpBB 3.0.7 security vulnerability
Recently, phpBB 3.0.7 was released by phpbb.com. They discovered a new security vulnerability in phpBB 3.0.7 version which was not noticed during testing. Following is the original announcement:
——————————————————————
We are sorry to announce the immediate release of phpBB 3.0.7-PL1 to address a security issue which was introduced in 3.0.7, unfortunately the issue wasn’t noticed during testing and has only surfaced a week
after the release of 3.0.7.
We promised working feeds for phpBB 3.0.7. Sadly, we were not able to deliver on that promise – a critical bug in the permission handling for feeds slipped past. To all people who already have updated to 3.0.7, it
is of critical importance to update to 3.0.7-PL1. Otherwise, it is possible for users to bypass permission settings under the following circumstances:
- Feeds are enabled
- Any of the posts or topics feeds are enabled
- The unauthorised user – or one of the groups they are a member of – has forum permissions set on a private forum
- If you have excluded a forum from the list of forums that provide feeds, it is unaffected
The fix for the issue is a single line change inside of feed.php, line 525 has changed from:
$forum_ids = array_keys($auth->acl_getf('f_read'));
to:
$forum_ids = array_keys($auth->acl_getf('f_read', true));
There were no other changes, in particular neither style nor language changes.
——————————————————————
If you are using phpBB 3.0.7 it is strongly recommend to upgrade it immediately to to phpBB 3.0.7-PL1 version.

Links are added automatically in the index page of the website – adsttnmq1/sdioyslkjs2 attack
Recently I faced problem with one of the websites in which there were many links added automatically in the index page. The FTP password was reset many times but it didn’t fix the problem. Even there was no logs for FTP access for this website.
After checking all the files/folders of this website, I found some suspicious files in one folder. There was a PHP script along with other files which was adding the spam links in the homepage. The script was simply called by attacker and they were passing some text file as a query string.
This is not an attack on the website but it seems they were adding the links just to populate their keywords in the search engine. I was not sure from where these malicious files were uploaded but after removing these files, I have not faced the problem again.
Just for the information, the link code was started using
