Vulnerability

    php

Affected

    PHP 3.0.16/4.0.2

Description

    August   Gneisenau   found   following.      He   did   test    on
    Slack-7.0/Apache-1.3.12/PHP-3.0.16.   If  the  default  ones  dont
    work  specify  these  from  the  commandline  for  slack  7.0  eip
    address/shellcode address 0xbfff9b90/0xbfff958c.
