A security researcher launched a new project to disclose PHP scripting language vulnerabilities.
This project, named month of PHP Bugs, was started on Thursday. So far, 5 defects have been disclosed, some of which may have compromised the security of the system running PHP, according to the project's website.
Ethiopian, a well-known PHP security expert, said on the project's website that the project was designed to improve PHP security. He wrote that the flaw in disclosure would be primarily a flaw in the PHP kernel rather than in the PHP language.
PHP is a scripting language that is widely used to create dynamic Web pages. According to the statistics provided by security News Web site safety Focus, the total defects reported in 2006 accounted for 43% of application software written in PHP.
Unlike other "defect month" activities launched in the past few months, month of PHP bugs not only contains newly discovered defects, but some of its disclosures may have been fixed, and many defects may have been reported to the PHP security team.
Month of PHP Bugs is similar to other projects designed to disclose defects in software. The researchers, who support these projects, say they want to improve the security of their systems and that the publicly disclosed flaws will be revised more quickly.
