php5 vulnerabilities
============================================================================

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 11.10
- Ubuntu 11.04
- Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 8.04 LTS

Summary:

Several security issues were fixed in PHP.

Software Description:
- php5: HTML-embedded scripting language interpreter

Details:

It was discovered that PHP incorrectly handled certain character sequences
when applying HTTP response-splitting protection. A remote attacker could
create a specially-crafted URL and inject arbitrary headers.
(CVE-2011-1398, CVE-2012-4388)

It was discovered that PHP incorrectly handled directories with a large
number of files. This could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary
code with the privileges of the web server, or to perform a denial of
service. (CVE-2012-2688)

It was discovered that PHP incorrectly parsed certain PDO prepared
statements. A remote attacker could use this flaw to cause PHP to crash,
leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2012-3450)

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:
