LOL - I just came here to post the same thing! Wow - you have to be quick if you want to hussle with the hard core sysadmins who hang out here. :)

BTW, there is a patch available for dl at php.net

Can you imagine how long it would take Microsoft to patch a security hole. Takes them weeks just to acknowledge that it actually exists. Gotta love Opensource.

Everytime I see something like this, I save the URL or information, to give to people to read that ask too many stupid questions about why it's important to not run services as root when you can help it. Imagine if Apache run as root user... wait, that would be Windows' IIS. Okay.. how about...
