The preg_quote function in PHP 5.2 through 5.2.13 and 5.3 through 5.3.2 allows context-dependent attackers to obtain sensitive information (memory contents) by causing a userspace interruption of an internal function, related to the call time pass by reference feature, modification of ZVALs whose values are not updated in the associated local variables, and access of previously-freed memory.

PHP was updated to version 5.3.3 to fix serveral security issues.

(CVE-2010-0397, CVE-2010-1860, CVE-2010-1862, CVE-2010-1864, CVE-2010-1866, CVE-2010-1914, CVE-2010-1915, CVE-2010-1917, CVE-2010-2093, CVE-2010-2094, CVE-2010-2097, CVE-2010-2100, CVE-2010-2101, CVE-2010-2190, CVE-2010-2191, CVE-2010-2225, CVE-2010-2531, CVE-2010-2950, CVE-2010-3062, CVE-2010-3063, CVE-2010-3064, CVE-2010-3065)

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201110-06 (PHP: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in PHP. Please review the       CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
  Impact :

    A context-dependent attacker could execute arbitrary code, obtain       sensitive information from process memory, bypass intended access       restrictions, or cause a Denial of Service in various ways.
    A remote attacker could cause a Denial of Service in various ways,       bypass spam detections, or bypass open_basedir restrictions.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.
