[cobalt-users] PHP under POST attack

["Tom Cameron" <tomcameron@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi there,
Ive just noticed that one of my sites is being hit with POST requests about
3/second for about 6 hours per day.

At this stage there is no other sign of intrusion into the machine. It is a
Cobalt Raq 4 and Im using the PkgMaster
http://pkgmaster.com/packages/raq/4/#php PHP 4.1.2-3.

After reading around there is quite a bit of info about a POST vulnerability
in PHP in later versions - http://www.php.net/release_4_2_2.php.

Does anybody know if this PkgMaster version is vulnerable and if I should
upgrade to a later package. If I should upgrade, what versions and packages
do you recommend?

Thanks
Tom
