Zeev,

I don't know why you believe that I reported crash bugs. Yes of course
the local exploits I sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] were only crashing PHP,
because they were 1-2-3 line Proof Of Concept Codes.
Except for one DOS only bug all the bugs can be exploited to execute
arbitrary code or access memory areas (read or write). And you will see
it in the Months of PHP bugs, when every released exploit will be
functional.

Last time I checked a single remote exploit is enough to takeover the
PHP process.

The local vulnerabilities I sent are those that can be found from a very
quick audit and should be obvious to any security aware C programmer
(that knows a bit about the PHP source code). It is a pity that PHP
obviously lacks these kind of programmers. And it is a pretty good proof
that Coverity does not find anything of value.

You want some more remote exploits. No problem. We have to wait a few
weeks or months until enough new lines of code have been commited and
there will be the next overflows. But considering how I was attacked
again today for telling Rasmus to tell the truth, I strongly believe
that a second Month of PHP Bugs should be sheduled for the future that
comes without any warning and shows your real performance. However it
was quite amazing that Andi shared his hallucinations about my quit
reasons with the world.
