Fedora 22: PHP 5.6.9 Critical Advisory for Buffer Overflow

fedora
Calendar Grey May 26, 2015
Dist Fedora Esm H88
Urgent security patch for PHP version 5.6.9 on Fedora 22. Address flaws to improve system integrity.
14 May 2015, **PHP 5.6.9** Core: * Fixed bug #69467 (Wrong checked for the interface by using Trait)

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.
