Description:
    Previous versions of the php package are vulnerable to many attacks,
    the worst of which enable various remote attackers to run arbitrary
    code as the "apache" user.  These vulnerabilities are exposed by a
    wide variety of applications written in the PHP language.
    
    11 December 2007 Update: The previous version of this fix included
    a patch to address CVE-2007-4659 that was unnecessary (CVE-2007-4659
    did not affect this version of php) and caused php to terminate with
    a segmentation fault in some cases.  This patch has been removed,
    which resolves the segmentation fault regression.
