If you do any PHP coding, and especially if you do any PHP coding that runs on the web, update your PHP instance NOW. Huge vulnerability found in pretty much every PHP out there. I've been spending the morning getting mine updated. More details listed at the main PHP website. And, of course, you can go to official news about security release issues from your favorite security source.

I note there have been a lot of PHP security problems since I first heard about it over 20 years ago. 

I've worked on one website that used it, and it is an internal site that displays weather info at that location, part of a larger system that collects and records weather data.

Started that job and had to fix it, as NOAA changed the way radar images were stored, something like 2 years earlier and they had no one to fix it.

I had never used PHP before; took me maybe 2 days to learn enough. Basically it lets you run C++ code on a web server.
