 * It looks like the version of timthumb.php that you are using is slightly modified
   from his published version, but you may consider generating the thumbnails in
   a different way or auditing the code.
 * It appears there is a zero-day vulnerability in the timthumb.php code (and potentially
   other vulnerabilities) that has serious repercussions.
