It is possible, under some circumstances, for remote attackers to invoke the PHP interpreter from the web. If the interpreter is invoked with no command line options, it will hang. Attackers may exploit this condition to cause a denial of service. This is reported to be a problem with PHP and Apache on Microsoft Windows platforms. It may be possible to create this condition in other environments as well.
