Summary

Several vulnerabilities were found in PHP, a general-purpose scripting language commonly used for web application development. As announced in DSA 3064-1 it has been decided to follow the stable 5.4.x releases for the Wheezy php5 packages. Consequently the vulnerabilities are addressed by upgrading PHP to a new upstream version 5.4.36, which includes additional bug fixes, new features and possibly incompatible changes. Two additional patches were applied on top of the imported new upstream version. An out-of-bounds read flaw was fixed which could lead php5-cgi to crash. Moreover a bug with php5-pgsql in combination with PostgreSQL 9.1 was fixed (Debian Bug #773182).
