What happened to mod_php

What happened to mod_php

[Samuel Liddicott]

I'm installing cygwin on a new PC, trying to match the configuration I set
up 3 months earlier, but I can't seem to find where mod_php is listed?

I've seen queries from a few folk suspecting the package to be removed but
no up to date or workable comments on the fate of php and cygwin?

Can anything be done apart from re-installing cygwin and hoping to find an
old out of date mirror?

Sam

Unfortunately, it seems that that's exactly what you'll have to do for
now.  Both apache and mod_php4 were suffering from multiple
vulnerabilities due to being linked to the old ssl libraries.  The
maintainer was rather busy and couldn't update them in a timely manner, so
both of them were pulled from distribution.  The maintainer has since
recompiled and posted apache, but hasn't gotten around to updating
mod_php4 yet (though he indicated that he is planning to).

Actually IIRC the vulnerability was part of the core Apache, and had
something to do with "..\" being able to traverse paths due to the fact
that '\' is not a pathname seperator in unix.

But yes, new mod_php packages should be posted soon to go with the fixed
1.3.29 Apache.

OK, thanks for the tip.
