Fedora 20 PHP 5.5.23 2015-4216 Critical: Bug Fix Security Advisory

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notif
**19 Mar 2015, PHP 5.5.23** Core: * Fixed bug #69174 (leaks when unused inner class use traits precedence)

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.
