After the PHP scripting language widely used for website development was revealed to have serious security flaws on the 21st, the Japanese government called on various website operators on the 22nd to take measures and suspend services on several websites of central and local government departments, railways, and financial institutions in Japan. PHP is a widely used server-side scripting language. It runs on a server to generate web content, interact with databases, and is heavily integrated into other products. This security issue involves two vulnerabilities. Attackers may be able to cause memory corruption by triggering a memory exhaustion state, and use the vulnerabilities to execute code remotely under certain conditions. On the 21st, the PHP development team released an urgent security update, and the vulnerability has been fixed.
