[PHPwestoz] are there any know php vulnerabilities around?

[firepages.com.au]

You running phpBB ? if so patch it (or FUD yourself up ...
http://fud.prohost.org)

Its unlikely to be a vunerability in PHP itself , more likely a PHP or PERL
application (phpBB && Awstats both recently compromised to this extent)

Regards,
Simon.
