Questions Regarding Recent Ubuntu PHP5 Security Announcement

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello All,

I am trying to make some sense of this PHP5 security vulnerability notice
from 18 October 2011:

http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ubuntu.security.announce/1478

It states that for Ubuntu 8.04 users, a PHP upgrade to 5.2.4 is required to
take care of the security issues. It also states that for Ubuntu 10.04
users, a PHP upgrade to 5.3.3 is required.

For operational reasons, I am running 5.2.17 on Ubuntu 10.04 and cannot
upgrade to PHP 5.3, Does anyone know if 5.2.17 is safe since evidently 5.2.4
is?

The security notice doesn't go into any real detail on the specific version
numbers so I am having trouble understanding what needs to be done.

Thanks.
