If you use Nginx, you can temporarly block the subject by disallowing multipart sendings to PHP. This is quite a problem for a lot of forms, but way better that being hacked.

Here is an Nginx patch : if ($http_content_type ~* "multipart") { return 403; }

You can also turn of session progress in php.ini as mentionned but that does not seem to cover every cases : session.upload_progress.enabled = Off


After digging a little in the PoC code (here https://jackalsyn.com/posts/php-up-2026.html) I'm quite confident it's not a completely working one.

It assumes PHP frees the upload progress data when it reloads the session. But PHP 8.4 (the one we use is 8.4.24, i don't know for other versions) calls Z_TRY_ADDREF(progress->data) to keep that data alive. The fake function call also seems to contain invalid fields.

This makes me question this particular PoC, not the official PHP security warning. I have not reproduced the exploit, so this is a concern based on reading the code, not proof that the real vulnerabilities cannot be exploited.

But anyway the CVE still exists, and the exploitation is tied to multipart, disabling it seems the best thing you can do now without shutting everything down.

PHP core maintainers themselves have said that only upgrading PHP will be sufficient: https://phpc.social/@Girgias/117476477429221001

Have you tested this against a POC to see if it actually mitigates? Seeing a lot of proposed mitigations but with very little detail about whether they worked or not.

I have tried the so-called-POC of the URL you linked, it seems it is not a full POC. I have tested it against my local PHP instances; it does not work.

The php devs claim that the only workaround is going to be a new php version https://phpc.social/@Girgias/117476477429221001

How do they even test this on a model ? I mean it's a multimodal i get that but response time are too big or am i missing something ?


By making a simulation first so it can run as slowly as it needs to.

A different way to think of this is, consciousness is just a near real time video game with causal influence.


It drives step by step, very slowly.

The course looks like it is something that a human could do in 15 seconds, while Astra took 5 minutes.


Yes! The models can choose their speeds and command durations. Fable for example took so long to pause and think between giving steering commands. Astra took less time but still the latency is so high that they have to pretty much drive slowly step-by-step. And definitely any human could do this way way faster, but inference speeds, latency, and intelligence get better fast enough that maybe in a year from now the models will be even more competent at this (but still probably worse than specialized models for driving).

While slow, we must remember that when most machines were invented they were far slower than humans and refined until the point they were much faster.


Agree as well he has lost his mind in the battle and does not appear to be trustable in such a competitive market at current state of things (well .. ai).

Probably a good move to move on with someone else that doesn't need to get microdosis at burning man yearly to get ideas.
