So many 'web hosts' run really outdated PHP versions, it's quite frustrating to see.

Because distributions usually ship with one PHP version and never upgrade it. Hopefully the distributions are backporting the upstream security patches.

Themes too. It's very common for themes to only support one major version and then never get updated again.

What's the chance of exploiting this to patch it?
