PHP Vulnerability December 17. 2004


It was announced today that PHP (the stuff that runs the software I use to blog) is vulnerable to various "computer attacks." My favorite part of the announcement is that as a random example of who should be worried about this bug, the security team mentions the Serendipity software by name.

I guess I'll be upgrading apache+php (and I might look into a newer version of serendipity while I'm at it).

Yeah! Fun!

Updated 13:05 December 17th 2004:
Apache 1.3.33 + PHP 5.0.3 and Serendipity 0.8-alpha8 have been installed. The upgrade from alpha3 to alpha8 wasn't as smooth as all the other upgrades I've done but I think I've got it now.
