Version 4.2 is close enough. Besides Mandrake has already php-4.2.3-4.3.C21mdk out which appears to have fixes applied. How well this patches the problems I cannot tell. Assume the best. -) With RH7.3 and 4.1.2 this is entirely different kettle of fish. I looked and I do not see any obvious way to fit these patches back. I cannot even tell if the problems are there and if yes then which particular code fragments are responsible. At least on one RH 7.3 machine I am running php 4.3.8 from the end of July of this year. How successful such substituion would be obviously depends on what applications you have on the top of it. But if they are breaking then you should have started a forward migration a long time ago. There were good reasons to break assorted grungy PHP code. It is defintely possible to compile php 4.3.10 on RH7.3. It wants newer curl but sources from RH9 recompile there without heroic efforts and that version is good enough.
