Hi, thanks for the report. Note that the security problems have been fixed in the PHP errata updates for 7.x already.
Here is a serious bug that is biting lots of people: http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=18352 http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=17998 http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=11008 Simple test case: $ php -q 'exit(99);' ; echo $? This should display 99 on your screen, instead I get 255.
Joe - that does not seem to be the case, that is why I reported the bug. ftp://updates.redhat.com/7.2/en/os/i386 lists php-4.1.2-7.2.6.i386.rpm
Yes, the version of the RPM is still "4.1.2" since we back-ported the fixes from 4.2.x and apply them to 4.1.2.
This was fixed in 8.0/9.
