Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

 - CVE-2010-2531 An information leak was found in the var_export() function.

 - CVE-2011-0421 The Zip module could crash.

 - CVE-2011-2202 Path names in form based file uploads (RFC 1867) were incorrectly validated.

This update also fixes two bugs, which are not treated as security issues, but fixed nonetheless, see README.Debian.security for details on the scope of security support for PHP (CVE-2011-0420, CVE-2011-1153 ).

For the oldstable distribution (lenny), these problems have been fixed in version 5.2.6.dfsg.1-1+lenny12.

For the stable distribution (squeeze), these problems have been fixed in version 5.3.3-7+squeeze3.
