(We're a linux shop but same theory applies) a particular gotcha was the removal of the mhash module which is used by plenty of shopping cart code, (its now emulated by the built in hash stuff, but php configure needs the --with-mhash flag. And because its emulated it cant be built as a module.) Test throughly if your thinking of moving to php5.3. However as yet various stuff thats in the php5.2.11 port isnt available or has changed a bit for 5.2.12. for example the Suhosin hardening patch isnt available for 5.2.12 yet (People taking time off for the holidays I'd guess ;) Vince > On Thu, Dec 24, 2009 at 8:49 PM, r00t <r00t@ellicit.org> wrote: > >> I was wondering why this isn't available to upgrade... >> >> >> >> Affected package: php5-5.2.11_1 >> Type of problem: php -- multiple vulnerabilities. >> Reference: <http://portaudit.FreeBSD.org/39a25a63-eb5c-11de-b650-00215c6a37bb.html >> >> Security Enhancements and Fixes in PHP 5.2.12 is what the above reference says. >> >> Standard methods of upgrading have no shown a fix for this...does anyone have information on when this will be fixed? >> >> >> Port: php5-5.2.11_1 >> Path: /usr/ports/lang/php5 >> Info: PHP Scripting Language >> Maint: ale@FreeBSD.org >> B-deps: autoconf-2.62 autoconf-wrapper-20071109 libiconv-1.13.1 >> libxml2-2.7.6_1 m4-1.4.13,1 perl-5.8.9_3 pkg-config-0.23_1 >> R-deps: libiconv-1.13.1 libxml2-2.7.6_1 pkg-config-0.23_1 >> WWW: http://www.php.net/ >> >> _______________________________________________ >> freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list >> http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable >> To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" >> >> > > > >
