Slackware Update for PHP

Slackware in Secunia has issued an update for PHP. This fixes some vulnerabilities, which can be exploited by malicious users to manipulate certain data, disclose potentially sensitive information, bypass certain security restrictions, cause a Denial of Service (DoS), or to compromise a vulnerable system, and by malicious people to disclose potentially sensitive information, conduct cross-site scripting attacks, or cause a DoS.

The solution is to apply updated packages like Slackware 10.2, Slackware 11.0 and Slackware current.
