Synopsis: Critical: php53 security update
Issue Date: 2012-02-02
CVE Numbers: CVE-2012-0830

PHP is an HTML-embedded scripting language commonly used with the Apache
HTTP Server.

It was discovered that the fix for CVE-2011-4885 (released via in a previous
update for php53) introduced an uninitialized memory use flaw. A remote
attacker could send a specially-crafted HTTP request to cause the PHP
interpreter to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2012-0830)

All php53 users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a
backported patch to resolve this issue. After installing the updated
packages, the httpd daemon must be restarted for the update to take effect.
