Today, I check out my email and got a newsletter for PHPClass.Org, and I found this article worth to read for all PHP programmers in this world.
The vulnerability is just a mere of Hash table collisions problems, but it may lead to one huge problem to your site if you don’t really care or aware about it. Before read the following article, I suggest you to understand what is a Hash table in the first place. An article about Hash table that published at Wikipedia is good enough to give some explanation.
Check out the Hash Collision vulnerability article from PHPClass.org.

PHP, I have no idea at all.
Hi Ganda,
I’ve been working with your WP-Hashtag plugin, great work by the way. I made a couple of simple changes to the plugin which load the stylesheet via wp_enqueue_style instead of the way it was previously done, which makes the plugin a little more flexible for theme developers who don’t want to load a ton of extra stylesheets and the added http requests that go with them. If you’d like, send me an email and I’ll send the file over to you to update in a future version.
Hi Nathan,
Thank you for dropping a worthy comment to my blog. And thanks again for improving the WP-Hashtag plugin that I developed years ago. Sure Nathan, I’d love to see your modification to the plugin. I’ll contact you sooner.
Thank you very much taking care my plugin.
