Fedora 24: 2017-5ade380ab2 High: PHP Buffer Overflow Fix

fedora
Calendar Grey July 19, 2017
Dist Fedora Esm H88
The latest Fedora PHP patches tackle efficiency and security vulnerabilities, notably addressing buffer overflow risks. Prompt installation is advised.
**PHP version 5.6.31** (06 Jul 2017) **Core:** * Fixed bug php#73807 (Performance problem with processing post request over 2000000 chars)

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.
