PHP2Shell: the production gap between a patch and a patched service

A dedicated GetPageSpeed special on PHP2Shell and closing the gap between a security fix and an installable package.

Check your packages and find the current fix: GetPageSpeed PHP2Shell hub.

GetPageSpeed CentOS 7 packages are available now. GetPageSpeed packages for Ubuntu and Debian are on the way; availability varies by platform and PHP branch. Supported vendor security updates should be used where applicable.
