PHP2Shell: What Actually Protects You Before the 14:00 UTC PHP RCE Patch, and What Doesn't
Disabling PHP Session Upload Progress does not fully mitigate PHP2Shell; fixes for two critical flaws are scheduled for October 21.
Summary
You cannot fully block the two critical PHP flaws called PHP2Shell before today's fix, and the one setting being passed around as a workaround is not enough on its own, the security firm that suggested it now says. PHP will release the fix at 14:00 UTC on October 21 for two flaws it rates 9.2 out of 10, and has given no workaround of its own.
