Description

Previous versions of the php5 package contain multiple vulnerabilities,

the most serious of which involve several Denial of Service attacks

(application crashes and temporary application hangs). It is not

currently known that these vulnerabilities can be exploited to execute

malicious code.

In its default configuration, rPath Linux 1 does not install php5 and

is thus not vulnerable; however, systems upon which php5 and an exposed

application have been installed may be vulnerable.
