#23513 [NEW]: security flaw: info posted on newsgroup

From: jlindsey at guarded dot net Operating system: linux PHP version: 4.3.1 PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: security flaw: info posted on newsgroup After php compiles and runs its tests, there is an option to send the information to the php developers. That option does not make it clear that the information will be posted on a public newsgroup, php.qa Yaaaaay! All the world can see detailed config info of one of my company's internal machines, as well as other swell info (like my email address). Thanks php guys...that's great security! Seriously...who thought this was a good idea? Stop!
