Question
Any fix for PHP Remote Code Execution vulnerability?
I came across the recent exposure of a major remote code execution vulnerability in PHP:
https://www.cisecurity.org/advisory/multiple-vulnerabilities-in-php-could-allow-for-arbitrary-code-execution_2018-023/
I am running a server with PHP 5.5.9 (Ubuntu 14.04) and it’s not clear to me how to upgrade it to something higher than 5.6.34 to keep myself protected.
Can anyone with droplets on D.O who has patched their server (s) recently, offer any suggestions? As far as I have seen, running apt-get upgrade doesn’t seem to offer the version of PHP that’s more secure (can’t upgrade to PHP 7.0 on a production server.
Thanks in advance.
