Fedora 24: 2016-ace6f06a4d Moderate: PHP 5.6.20 Buffer Overflow

Dist Fedora Esm H88
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notif
31 Mar 2016, **PHP 5.6.20** **CLI Server:** * Fixed bug php#69953 (Support MKCALENDAR request method)

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.
