For those who can’t patch their PHP for a variety of reasons right now, here is a proxy I developed that can sit between nginx or apache and your PHP-FPM, to sanitize inputs and prevent this (and other) attacks:

Thanks for the inspiration! I've stripped down your code and made https://github.com/analogic/phpsafepass which is mostly just filter for fpm

  • Love it! Finally somebody gets it.

    I got downvoted heavily by other HNers for merely offering a solution to protect people’s legacy PHP servers. They said it should be deleted and “not worth working on”. The solution was free and open source but these downvoters commented as if it was worse than having your server PWNED. I still don’t understand why.
