Subject: Possible apache2/php 4.3.9 worm

There were several serious holes just released in 4.3.9 of PHP. That is
a possible attack vector from what you are saying. Get 4.3.10 of PHP for
sure. As far as what this does or what all it would do, someone needs to
get a good catch of it.

Anyone ready to setup a box? =)
