If references were used in a wrong + way, PHP could create memory corruptions which would not always surface or + be visible. The increased middle digit was required because the fix that + corrected the problem with references changed PHP's internal API, breaking + binary compatibility with the PHP 4.3.* series. PHP 4.4.0 does not have + any new features, and is solely a bugfix release; however, it is strongly + recommended that you read the more detailed release announcement + <a href="release_4_4_0.php">available here</a> prior to upgrading your + PHP 4 installation. +</p> +<p> +For changes in PHP 4.4.0 since PHP 4.3.11, please consult the +<a href="/ChangeLog-4.php#4.4.0">PHP 4 ChangeLog</a>. +</p> + +<hr /> + +<h1>PEAR XML_RPC Vulnerability and PHP 4.4.0RC2 release</h1> +<p> + <span class="newsdate">[01-Jul-2005]</span> + An easily exploitable security issue was discovered in PEAR XML_RPC &lt;= + 1.3.0.

Besides this new PEAR package there are two + minor issues fixed since PHP 4.4.0RC1. As the improved reference support + in PHP 4.4 might show as notices and warnings in your existing + applications - in cases where PHP formerly just silently ignored this + and often causing memory corruptions - we also recommend to test PHP + 4.4.0RC2 with your applications. The final release is planned for July + 11th.
