This new Hardened-PHP release is the first one that is publicly announced and is considered stable on atleast linux systems. Hardened-PHP is a patch against the PHP codebase which adds security hardening features to it to protect servers on the one hand against a number of well known problems in hastily written PHP scripts and on the other hand against potential unknown vulnerabilities within the engine itself. Hardened-PHP provides: + Protection of the Zend Memory Manager with canaries + Protection of Zend Linked Lists with canaries + Protection against internal format string exploits + Protection against arbitrary code inclusion + Syslog logging of attackers IP We consider Hardened-PHP 0.1.1 to be the best version of Hardened-PHP available and we strongly recommend that users of older versions upgrade as soon as possible. Hardened-PHP is available for download via HTTP from http:///www.hardened-php.net/download.php The distribution file name is: hardened-php-4.3.6-0.1.1.patch.gz MD5 checksum: 62f7d49b89c93dace247c2bc189b7503 Yours, The Hardened-PHP Project Team... http://www.hardened-php.net
