    <p>
    PHP is a widely-used general-purpose scripting language that is
    especially suited for Web development and can be embedded into HTML.
    </p>

    <p>
    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in PHP. Please review the
    CVE identifiers referenced below and the associated PHP release notes
    for details.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="high">
    <p>
    A context-dependent attacker could execute arbitrary code via a
    specially crafted string containing an HTML entity when the mbstring
    extension is enabled. Furthermore a remote attacker could execute
    arbitrary code via a specially crafted GD graphics file.
    </p>
    <p>
    A remote attacker could also cause a Denial of Service via a malformed
    string passed to the json_decode() function, via a specially crafted
    ZIP file passed to the php_zip_make_relative_path() function, via a
    malformed JPEG image passed to the exif_read_data() function, or via
    temporary file exhaustion. It is also possible for an attacker to spoof
    certificates, bypass various safe_mode and open_basedir restrictions
    when certain criteria are met, perform Cross-site scripting attacks,
    more easily perform SQL injection attacks, manipulate settings of other
    virtual hosts on the same server via a malicious .htaccess entry when
    running on Apache, disclose memory portions, and write arbitrary files
    via a specially crafted ZIP archive. Some vulnerabilities with unknown
    impact and attack vectors have been reported as well.
    </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. As PHP is
    statically linked against a vulnerable version of the c-client library
    when the imap or kolab USE flag is enabled (GLSA 200911-03), users
    should upgrade net-libs/c-client beforehand:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=net-libs/c-client-2007e"
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=dev-lang/php-5.2.12"</code>
  </resolution>
