Also, I hope the attached patch, which mitigates session table exhaustion
which could be used in a DDoS attack after the above patch to get its
way into phpbb/files so it will be automatically patched.
I suggest to add the following item to be added into vuxml:
<vuln vid=(A newly generated UUID?)>
<topic>phpBB ession table exhaustion</topic>
<affects>
<package>
<name>phpbb</name>
<range><le>2.0.8_2</le></range>
</package>
</affects>

<p>The includes/sessions.php unnecessarily adds session item into
session table and therefore vulnerable to a DDoS attacK.</p>
