Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=78467&edit=1 ID: 78467 Comment by: henry dot paradiz at gmail dot com Reported by: henry dot paradiz at gmail dot com Summary: Impossible to use PDO to connect to MySQL with ClearText Plugin Status: Open Type: Bug Package: PDO MySQL Operating System: Any PHP Version: 7.1.31 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: I'm not angry just have zero patience for arrogance, ignorance, and stupidity. The OP of this thread hasn't been exploited or hacked. Most PHP out there is still running 5.x. You are neither qualified nor smart enough to put together a single one of these hacks you claim we are vulnurable to. You're spreading fear and FUD. Linux is designed for security. The server is not running as root and neither is the PHP process on the box. This is like bitching about someone using Windows 95 to play Doom. Yea they could be hacked but nothing of value would be lost and you're still just an asshole.

Just don't remove the old versions from package managers. If I want to install old software that's my right and my risk to take. That's not up to you to decide. The vast majority of code written for 5.x could never be exploited anyway. This is the height of nerd arrogance. Don't patronize me assholes. I'll figure out the risk for myself. If I feel like running php 4.0 on Slackware 3.1 I'll do it and that's none of your business. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2019-10-07 14:39:02] henry dot paradiz at gmail dot com This is why dropping old versions from package managers is stupid. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2019-10-03 20:52:52] henry dot paradiz at gmail dot com The following pull request has been associated: Patch Name: protect master branches except for the pecl repos against force pushes On GitHub: https://github.com/php/karma/pull/4 Patch: https://github.com/php/karma/pull/4.patch ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2019-08-27 19:22:02] nikic@php.net I've deleted the comments. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2019-08-27 19:15:53] henry dot paradiz at gmail dot com Someone guessed the password for this bug and posted a bunch of crap above.
