Fedora 20: FEDORA-2015-6399 Critical: PHP Remote Code Execution

fedora
Calendar Grey April 27, 2015
Dist Fedora Esm H88
PHP 5.5.24 for Fedora 20 resolves serious vulnerabilities related to remote code execution and includes multiple bug corrections.
16 Apr 2015, **PHP 5.5.24** Apache2handler: * Fixed bug #69218 (potential remote code execution with apache 2.4 apache2handler)

Summary

PHP is an HTML-embedded scripting language. PHP attempts to make it

easy for developers to write dynamically generated web pages. PHP also

offers built-in database integration for several commercial and

non-commercial database management systems, so writing a

database-enabled webpage with PHP is fairly simple. The most common

use of PHP coding is probably as a replacement for CGI scripts.

The php package contains the module (often referred to as mod_php)

which adds support for the PHP language to Apache HTTP Server.
