Fixed in dev-lang/php-5.3.9 - added to existing GLSA request. CVE-2012-0789 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2012-0789): Memory leak in the timezone functionality in PHP before 5.3.9 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by triggering many strtotime function calls, which are not properly handled by the php_date_parse_tzfile cache. This issue was resolved and addressed in GLSA 201209-03 at http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-201209-03.xml by GLSA coordinator Sean Amoss (ackle). |
