Check for the version of the php packages Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment Updated PHP packages that fix a security issue are now available. This update has been rated as having important security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team. PHP is an HTML-embedded scripting language commonly used with the Apache HTTP Web server. The Hardened-PHP Project discovered an overflow in the PHP htmlentities() and htmlspecialchars() routines. If a PHP script used the vulnerable functions to parse UTF-8 data, a remote attacker sending a carefully crafted request could trigger the overflow and potentially execute arbitrary code as the 'apache' user. (CVE-2006-5465) Users of PHP should upgrade to these updated packages which contain a backported patch to correct this issue.
