Seems to be that the official PHP patch doesn't work. What about Webfaction's own patch? Are webfaction servers (php-cgi) safe now?

Eindbazen source:

  • The new PHP versions as well as the official php patch contain a bug which makes the fix trivial to bypass. Use our mitigations for now.
  • New versions of PHP which incorporate this revised fix will be released soon. The issue that the bug was not initially properly fixed is being tracked as CVE-2012-2311.

Hi,

We've already deployed our own patch (wrapper that strips the extra arguments). Our servers are safe.
