How much is PHP susceptible to buffer Overflow attacks
I have heard that PHP is susceptible to buffer overflow attacks - is this true or is it due to unsecure php versions?
Would the latest PHP 5 version be susceptible to this type of attack?

Your link does not work - so it is just version? PHP5 does not have any of these flaws.
Very Good.

It is found that defending buffer overflow attack in PHP web application is developer and version dependent. Can this be detected in network based attack detection i.e. identifying a malicious packet that cause buffer overflow.
