Hello,
I am looking for some advice on a way to update some packages to newer releases than are available in the standard CentOS repositories. Specifically, I am trying to update apache and PHP to conform to "Scanalert"'s "Hacker Safe" website security scan, and the required versions do not exist in the CentOS repositories. I'm using CentOS 5.
Are you sure there are actually issues with your versions of PHP? The upstream vendor backports security fixes:

Security scanning tools often have no clue of this.
You could have left off `` of this''.
Several of the security scanning companies I've dealt with seem to be seriously lacking in clues.
