Nico_ps Posted November 5, 2002 Report Share Posted November 5, 2002 Hello: I have a Mandrake 8.1 with Apache 1.3.22 and PHP 4.0.6-6.1 (the last patch for this version) and when I test my server with a software for security this report a bug in PHP: Buffer Overflow allow external code execution.......... My question: Can I update the current PHP version from the that come in Mandrake 9 version ? What packages? Is it secure ? And I like not update my SO version, only PHP. The programs used for test servers are GFI Languard and ShadowScanerSecurity. Thanks for all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradcarter Posted November 6, 2002 Report Share Posted November 6, 2002 You might be better off getting the source from php.net and compiling it yourself to be sure. I have no idea of the compatablity http://www.php.net/downloads.php I would recomend going with php 2.2.3 as it is in my opinion much better with access to more functions and better security. though there is a patch there to fix the problem you speak of I think. There should be instructions for compiling in the zip :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
