I did report the issue. It was added to the month of PHP bugs tracker.
However, I don't agree with your out of hand dismissal of sending this
to the list. Webapps under Gentoo are difficult to maintain at best.
People should know, and this is a very public security issue that people
can quickly and easily address. I fail to see the harm in mentioning it.
I certainly don't need any reinforcement on how to read GLSAs or search
bugzilla, but thanks for the information.
