PHP 4.3.10 Release Announcement

[ Version Française ]

PHP Development Team would like to announce the immediate release of PHP 4.3.10. This is a maintenance release that in addition to over 30 non-critical bug fixes addresses several very serious security issues.

These include the following:

CAN-2004-1018 - shmop_write() out of bounds memory write access.
CAN-2004-1018 - integer overflow/underflow in pack() and unpack() functions.
CAN-2004-1019 - possible information disclosure, double free and negative reference index array underflow in deserialization code.
CAN-2004-1020 - addslashes() not escaping \0 correctly.
CAN-2004-1063 - safe_mode execution directory bypass.
CAN-2004-1064 - arbitrary file access through path truncation.
CAN-2004-1065 - exif_read_data() overflow on long sectionname.

All Users of PHP are strongly encouraged to upgrade to this release as soon as possible.
