PHP 4.3.8 Released, Fixing Remote Security Hole

Posted by timothy on from the constant-progress dept.

christian klink writes "While it was already reported on Slashdot, that PHP5 was released, it was not mentioned that the PHP developers have also announced the release of PHP 4.3.8 which is supposed to fix a major remote security hole in nearly all PHP installations. Additionally this new version adds a workaround for another Internet Explorer bug. The bugs were found by security specialist Stefan Esser of e-matters who is also a member of the PHP developers."

    I'm extremely disappointed with the Slashdot editors not putting this article on the main page. This is a critical security hole in a very common tool, even increasing common on Windows machines. Why was this not on the main page, Slashdot Editors?
