This update of php5 fixes multiple security flaws :

  - missing checks of return values could allow remote     attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer     dereference). (CVE-2011-4153)

  - denial of service via hash collisions. (CVE-2011-4885)

  - specially crafted XSLT stylesheets could allow remote     attackers to create arbitrary files with arbitrary     content. (CVE-2012-0057)

  - remote attackers can cause a denial of service via     specially crafted input to an application that attempts     to perform Tidy::diagnose operations. (CVE-2012-0781)

  - applications that use a PDO driver were prone to denial     of service flaws which could be exploited remotely.
    (CVE-2012-0788)

  - memory leak in the timezone functionality could allow     remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory     consumption). (CVE-2012-0789)

  - a stack-based buffer overflow in php5's Suhosin     extension could allow remote attackers to execute     arbitrary code via a long string that is used in a     Set-Cookie HTTP header. (CVE-2012-0807)

  - this fixes an incorrect fix for CVE-2011-4885 which     could allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code     via a request containing a large number of variables.
    (CVE-2012-0830)

  - temporary changes to the magic_quotes_gpc directive     during the importing of environment variables is not     properly performed which makes it easier for remote     attackers to conduct SQL injections. (CVE-2012-0831)

Multiple vulnerabilities has been identified and fixed in php :

The PDORow implementation in PHP before 5.3.9 does not properly interact with the session feature, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted application that uses a PDO driver for a fetch and then calls the session_start function, as demonstrated by a crash of the Apache HTTP Server (CVE-2012-0788). Note: this was fixed with php-5.3.10

The php_register_variable_ex function in php_variables.c in PHP 5.3.9 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a request containing a large number of variables, related to improper handling of array variables. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incorrect fix for CVE-2011-4885 (CVE-2012-0830). Note: this was fixed with php-5.3.10

PHP before 5.3.10 does not properly perform a temporary change to the magic_quotes_gpc directive during the importing of environment variables, which makes it easier for remote attackers to conduct SQL injection attacks via a crafted request, related to main/php_variables.c, sapi/cgi/cgi_main.c, and sapi/fpm/fpm/fpm_main.c (CVE-2012-0831).

Insufficient validating of upload name leading to corrupted $_FILES indices (CVE-2012-1172).

The updated php packages have been upgraded to 5.3.11 which is not vulnerable to these issues.

Stack-based buffer overflow in the suhosin_encrypt_single_cookie function in the transparent cookie-encryption feature in the Suhosin extension before 0.9.33 for PHP, when suhosin.cookie.encrypt and suhosin.multiheader are enabled, might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long string that is used in a Set-Cookie HTTP header (CVE-2012-0807). The php-suhosin packages has been upgraded to the 0.9.33 version which is not affected by this issue.

Additionally some of the PECL extensions has been upgraded to their latest respective versions which resolves various upstream bugs.

This update of php5 fixes multiple security flaws :

  - A php5 upload filename injection was fixed.
    (CVE-2011-2202)

  - A integer overflow in the EXIF extension was fixed that     could be used by attackers to crash the interpreter or     potentially read memory. (CVE-2011-4566)

  - Multiple NULL pointer dereferences were fixed that could     lead to crashes. (CVE-2011-3182)

  - An integer overflow in the PHP calendar extension was     fixed that could have led to crashes. (CVE-2011-1466)

  - A symlink vulnerability in the PEAR installer could be     exploited by local attackers to inject code.
    (CVE-2011-1072)

  - missing checks of return values could allow remote     attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer     dereference). (CVE-2011-4153)

  - denial of service via hash collisions. (CVE-2011-4885)

  - specially crafted XSLT stylesheets could allow remote     attackers to create arbitrary files with arbitrary     content. (CVE-2012-0057)
