If someone managed to compromise something like the PHP binaries they could cause a lot of damage.



Main php.net site doesn't have binaries, only sources. windows.php.net has Windows binaries, other sites - like Linux distros - have others.

All php releases are signed and checksummed on the d/l page.


I wouldn't imagine anyone downloading php binaries from php.net gives the remotest fig about security so I'm not sure why it would matter.
