    especially suited for Web development and can be embedded into HTML.

  <description>
    <p>
    A flaw in the PHP memory handling routines allows an unserialize() call
    to be executed on non-allocated memory due to a previous integer
    overflow.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="high">
    <p>
    An attacker could execute arbitrary code with the rights of the web
    server user or the user running a vulnerable PHP script.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>

    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=dev-lang/php-5.1.6-r6"</code>
    <p>
