nothing wrong with php...

however front page server extensions are an open door to most proficient crackers.

who would dare try to corrupt the prototypical php, mysql, apache trinity by mixing in pathetic offerings from microslop?

... and think it would stand for any length of time.

PHP version 4.3.9 is vulnerable to meta character attacks. The bug could enable an attacker to read arbitrary files from the filesystem of a webserver that hosts PHP scripts.

In addition PHP versions 4.3.6 until 4.3.9 as well as PHP versions 5.0.0 until 5.0.2 contain a bug that enables an attacker to manipulate the file name of uploaded files to perform directory traversal.

These forms of attack can be used to leverage access to the system.

That's why I always referred to it as "Front Plague." ;o)

It's a mystery to me!
