Red Hat Product Errata RHSA-2003:204 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE : Updated PHP packages are now available 2003-07-02 04:00:00 UTC

Description Chris Chabot 2003-03-08 07:05:37 UTC
sockets.c has a bug in the param count which causes the length param to be
ignored, below is the patch that fixes it for php-4.2.3 (but the same is present
in 4.2.2). I have reported this bug upstream where they fixed it in the newer
releases (4.3.x) but redhat uses an older version, so every redhat box is still
affected. Can this patch still make it into redhat 8.1? (it's seriously
bothersome to ask every client of mine to run a custom build php because of this
bug)

Comment 1 Chris Chabot 2003-06-11 04:55:06 UTC
Same bug was still present in red hat 9, however it seems that rawhide is going
the php 4.3.x way. 

I reported this bug to the php dev's and the fix is present in the 4.2.3 and
4.3.x versions, so if redhat will update to those versions, no action is needed.

Is a shame this report was ignored, and a simple patch never made it to new rh
releases or erate ;-/
