HELP understanding: remote execution bug?

[lists@lastisfirst.org]

I would appreciate it you folks would answer a couple of basic
questions about the "Remote execution" error:

1. Is it a browser issue.
2. Is it a PHP version issue.
3. Is a a $HTTP_POST_VAR[] vs. $_POST[] issue?
4. Is a a $_POST vs. $_GET[] issue?

I'm trying to use ezContents CMS calendar module, which is called from
a menu link, the module path is
/ezcontents/modules/calendar/calendar.php.

5. Is there a programming change I can make to make this module run
more safely?


TIA,
David

WHICH "Remote execution" error? Does this have anything
to do with Saddam Hussein and his upcoming trial?

It's a "you forgot to describe the problem" issue.
At least include the exact text of the error message and
what you did to provoke it.

Gordon --
You know what they say about 10,000 out of work comedians :-)
Here's the error message:
Remote Code Execution Patch Installed on this implementation of
ezContents.
Now back to my previous questions.

This doesn't sound like an error message, any more than, say:

Are you sure calendar.php hasn't been overwritten with text consisting
entirely of that error message? Can you find the "error message"
text anywhere within any of the *.php files? In short, are you
sure this application is installed correctly and the files
haven't been damaged?
