Keeping up with our promise of providing you with the safest hosting environment, we have to make a few changes to our PHP installation on our Linux Hosting Servers. We will be disabling a few PHP functions that allow users to execute system commands on the servers that disclose system information in a shared hosting environment. These functions are sparingly required by clients and are more of a security threat to your websites.
The functions that will be deprecated are:
system, shell_exec, exec, passthru, php_uname, popen, posix_kill, posix_mkfifo, posix_setpgid, posix_setsid, posix_setuid, posix_setgid, posix_uname, proc_close, proc_nice, proc_open, proc_terminate
We will be making these changes on Friday, 27th of November, 2009.
Your co-operation is highly appreciated.
