Based on past history, I'd suspect the folks behind pkgmaster will release
an updated PKG.  Sun didn't release a newer version of PHP to handle the
previous vulnerability so I doubt they will.  Of course you can always block
POST requests, though on many servers that would be a kiss of death since
any forms using the POST method will cease to work.  It would break nearly
every application I've ever written!
