Recently Exposed PHP Hole's Official Fix Ineffective
wiredmikey writes "On Wednesday, a remote code execution vulnerability in PHP was accidentally exposed to the Web, prompting fears that it may be used to target vulnerable websites on a massive scale. The bug itself was traced back to 2004, and came to light during a recent CTF competition. 'When PHP is used in a CGI-based setup (such as Apache's mod_cgid), the php-cgi receives a processed query string parameter as command line arguments which allows command-line switches, such as -s, -d or -c to be passed to the php-cgi binary, which can be exploited to disclose source code and obtain arbitrary code execution,' a CERT advisory explains. PHP developers pushed a fix for the flaw, resulting in the release of PHP 5.3.12 and 5.4.2, but as it turns out it didn't actually remove the vulnerability."
What do you have against Gamemaker? Why aren't you using Gamemaker? Why not switch to Gamemaker? Gamemaker's great. There's nothing more relaxing and fun than using Gamemaker. Use Gamemaker.
Why not return to Gamemakerdom today? Is there some reason you're not returning to Gamemakerdom right this minuteness? You'd better return to it.
