alt Hacker NewsWe didn't get much information throughout the day, besides these comments by an AWS employee/Amazon Linux maintainer on this thread: https://github.com/amazonlinux/amazon-linux-2023/issues/1148...
He referenced an nginx Important CVE taking 20 days to be patched - after it was noted that these PHP CVEs were also labelled by AWS as Important (not Critical). This employee took issue to another user's comment describing 20 days as "nearly a month".
Amazon Linux users/AWS customers barely got any tangible information from the CVE publication at 14:00UTC until this bulletin was posted at 21:30UTC. Very disappointing.

It seems to me that this comment is just regarding an earlier vulnerability and doesn't comment on PHP2Shell?
Where, exactly, does Amazon classify the PHP RCE as Important?
I'm not sure anything says what your editorialised title, and comment link says.
They were calling out that an NGINX CVE that was Important took 20 days. They're saying nothing about what classification Amazon has set on PHP,.
> So, from the CVE publication to an available fixed package it took 20 days, not a month.
They specifically call out that it's not the same as the Nginx case:
> In contrast to the PHP's case, that CVE wasn't Critical, but only Important, that doesn't have the same urgency.
