    <p>
    PHP is a general-purpose scripting language widely used to develop
    web-based applications. It can run inside a web server using the
    mod_php module or the CGI version of PHP, or can run stand-alone in a
    CLI.

  <description>
    <p>
    James Bercegay has discovered that the XML-RPC implementation in
    PHP fails to sanitize input passed in an XML document, which is used in
    an "eval()" statement.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="high">
    <p>
    A remote attacker could exploit the XML-RPC vulnerability to
    execute arbitrary PHP script code by sending specially crafted XML data
    to applications making use of this XML-RPC implementation.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All PHP users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=dev-php/php-4.4.0"</code>
  </resolution>
