Description:
    Previous versions of the php5 package contain multiple
    vulnerabilities, the most serious of which may allow a
    remote attacker to execute arbitrary code or commands.
    Other attack vulnerabilities include Denial of Service,
    Information Exposure, and Privilege Escalation.
    
    In its default configuration, rPath Linux 1 does not
    install php5 and is thus not vulnerable to these attacks;
    however, systems to which php5 has been added may be 
    vulnerable to one or more of these attacks.
    
    Note that one additional vulnerability fixed in php5
    5.2.4, CVE-2007-3996, was already fixed in a previous
    update to rPath Linux.
