Comment on PHP-CGI Vulnerability Exploited in the Wildparent

Comments

My thought exactly. Anyone who keeps their stack up to date is using the Apache2 Handler or FastCGI. Even if they're still on Apache1, mod_php isn't vulnerable.

If you're serving sites for multiple different users (eg shared hosting) you can't safely use mod_php as all of the php would end up running under the same uid.

I bet there are still tens of thousands of otherwise secure php-cgi setups out there.
