      <description><![CDATA[<p>
The SecurityReason website has three new advisories posted concerning the latest release in the PHP 5 series:
</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://securityreason.com/securityalert/3119">PHP 5.2.4 <= dl() open_basedir_bypass&code exec&dos</a> - input for the dl() function is not handled correctly and can lead to arbitrary code being loaded and executed
<li><a href="http://securityreason.com/securityalert/3115">PHP <=5.2.4 iconv_substr() denial of service</a> - memory limit issue can be used in a DoS attack
<li><a href="http://securityreason.com/securityalert/3114">PHP < 5.2.4 setlocale() denial of service</a> - memory limit issue can be used for a DoS attack
</ul>
<p>
The dl() overflow is marked as a medium threat (largely because it allows for arbitrary code execution) but the other two are shown as low threat. <a href="http://securityreason.com/securityalert/3119">A patch</a> is also given for the dl() issue to help correct the problem.
