Atomicorp

sorry . . . a windows question!

the nucleus repository is GREAT for those of us still running 5.3.27. but, is there something similar for a windows environment?? we've only got about 2 servers that need patches for:

CVE-2013-4248
CVE-2011-4718

is there anything that anyone knows of that will provide patches for these for a windows server??

thanks . . . john.

I am not aware of a third party vendor that provides extended security updates for Windows PHP 5.3.27, but they probably exist.

According to http://php.net/releases/5_3_27.php this version still receives security updates for the next year by PHP. Downloads can be found at http://windows.php.net/download/

yeah, i noticed they say they'll still be putting out security updates, but i haven't seen any on their site for:

CVE-2013-4248
CVE-2011-4718

i'm just really surprised, since it seems atomicorp is the only place i found that's really addressing the PHP 5.3.27 EOL. seems there's a TON of stuff out there where going from 5.3 to 5.4 will cause some issues.

Oh yeah absolutely, I've run into many apps that arent compatible with 5.4 yet. Check out phpc (yum insall phpc) from the repo, it can test applications for php 5.3-5.5 compatibility on the function level.


In regard to a windows version... Im not even sure what they use to build that (ming?). We'd probably have to take that on through pro-services to figure it out. It'd probably be less trouble for you to move the app(s) to a linux box.

oh, that's a pretty cool utility, and will definitely be useful in the future -- thanks!!!

my understanding is that the guy is trying to get 5.5 to work with the current code, so, hopefully that'll work.

thanks again!

hey, scott . . . i was actually just looking, but i couldn't find this "phpc" module.

i checked the free atomic and nucleus repositories.

can you point me in the right direction?? thanks . . . john.

My bad, I typo'd its: yum install phpcs

Theres a thread in the PHP forum about some hacks to automate it scanning whole vhost trees If I recall.
