Will Oracle continue to improve and update OpenOffice? Will they continue to develop under the LGPL?

New PHP Interpreter Finds XSS, Injection Holes 66

Posted by kdawson on Friday June 19, 2009 @11:22AM from the double-edged-sword dept.

rkrishardy writes "A group of researchers from MIT, Stanford, and Syracuse has developed a new program, named 'Ardilla,' which can analyze PHP code for cross-site scripting (XSS) and SQL injection attack vulnerabilities. (Here is the paper, in PDF, and a table of results from scanning six PHP applications.) Ardilla uses a modified Zend interpreter to analyze the code, trace the data, and determine whether the threat is real or not, significantly decreasing false positives." Unfortunately, license issues prevent the tool in its current form from being released as open source.

The final counting of votes (including around a million postal votes) will not be done until later next week."
