This is actually a vulnerability in PHP and nothing to do with Linux. See: http://arstechnica.com/business/2012/05/attackers-target-unpatched-php-bug-allowing- malicious-code-execution/ -- regards ~tdk View this thread at http://squte.com/node/5535#comment-19113

I don't know if it is the fault of the language, or its popularity - particularly in attracting the casual hacker rather than the seasoned programmer.

It's a combination of things. Primarily, it's its popularity and the fact that early versions of php.ini made terrible security choices. Pretty much any minor bug in a php web application led to remote exploits. Current php is much better behaved unless some numpty admin mucks up php.ini. -- One tequila, two tequila, three tequila, floor.
