In addition, we’ve updated the obsolete PHP version 5.2.17 on our servers to include the fix for a security bug that the updated 5.3 and 5.4 versions solve. (This bug wouldn’t normally be fixed because the PHP 5.2 series is no longer supported by the PHP developers, but we consider it important enough to manually backport the fix.)
