PHP 5.3.5 And PHP 5.2.17 Released

PHP development team has released new versions for 5.3.x and 5.2.x series of PHP scripting language.

PHP 5.3.5 for 5.3.x series and PHP 5.2.17 for 5.2.x series fix a critical issue where conversions from string to double might cause the PHP interpreter to hang on systems using x87 FPU registers (CVE-2010-4645). The problem is known to only affect x86 32-bit PHP processes, no matter if the system hosting PHP is 32-bit or 64-bit. By running test script one can check if their system is affected. Nevertheless, all PHP users are recommended to update their versions to the latest one.

Migration guide to PHP 5.3.x for 5.2.x series users can be found here.
