What if it requires a PHP script flaw also (like calling a method from an object that doesn't exist)? I can shut down many a site that have 5.1.4 if I can find some input to expose a script flaw like that, if their setup is similar to mine (which I think is common). Damn search engine came across such a bug of mine on a test site and shut it down. Killed a couple others it wasn't searching because of it also. Accidental DOS! Oh the joy...
Would you care to elaborate? Maybe a sample script that exhibits this behaviour? Actually, please don't. If it's as serious as you make it out to be, we'll want to produce a fix and roll a release before the details get to any black hats.
Please send your summary to group@php.net -Sara
