Forum upgrade to 4.2.2 Patch Level 1

[TransAmDan]

A security issue has been found that affects all versions of vBulletin including 3.x, 4.x and 5.x. We have released security patches to account for this vulnerability. This includes patches for vBulletin 3.8.7, vBulletin 4.2.2 and all versions of vBulletin 5. The patch is also applied to vBulletin 5.1.0 RC1. It is imperative that you apply these patches as soon as possible.
Due to functionality changes, the minimum PHP version for the patch is 5.2.0. This represents an increase for vBulletin 3. Alternatively customers can install the JSON functions separately via PECL :: Package :: json in which case it will work with any compatible PHP version that their particular version of vBulletin supports. You will need to collaborate with your hosting provider or systems administrator to apply the changes to PHP.
All patches can be found at http://members.vbulletin.com/patches.php
This includes:
vBulletin 5.0.5 PL1
vBulletin 4.2.2 PL1
vBulletin 3.8.7 PL3
vBulletin 3.8.7 MAPI
You can find DIFF Patches for other versions here:

I've been putting off an upgrade for some time as its been working, we are on Version V4.2.1, but as its a security thing I guess I've gotta take the plunge.
Fingers crossed its all smooth running. I think the forum will be fine, its all the various plugins, like some of the menus items. Or Char box on the first page etc..

Well the upgrade seemed to go faultless. (Garage needs looking at, apart from that all good)
the other reason for the upgrade is that some people were getting Script time out messages which I haven't been able to recreate, so maybe the update has got rid of that issue.

Upgrading again, we were on patch Level 3, I'm now uploading PL4.
