The Hardened-PHP project team is pleased to announce the release of version 0.1.1 of our PHP security hardening patch. This new Hardened-PHP release is the first one that is publicly announced and is considered stable on atleast linux systems.

Hardened-PHP is a patch against the PHP codebase which adds security hardening features to it to protect servers on the one hand against a number of well known problems in hastily written PHP scripts and on the other hand against potential unknown vulnerabilities within the engine itself.

Hardened-PHP provides:

+ Protection of the Zend Memory Manager with canaries
+ Protection of Zend Linked Lists with canaries
+ Protection against internal format string exploits
+ Protection against arbitrary code inclusion
+ Syslog logging of attackers IP

We consider Hardened-PHP 0.1.1 to be the best version of Hardened-PHP available and we strongly recommend that users of older versions upgrade as soon as possible.

Hardened-PHP is available for download via HTTP from
