Fedora 22: 2015-6195 Critical PHP Update: Remote Code Execution Risk

fedora
Calendar Grey April 22, 2015
Scroller Fedora
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notif
16 Apr 2015, **PHP 5.6.8** Core: * Fixed bug #66609 (php crashes with __get() and ++ operator in some cases)

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.
