- An error exists when processing invalid XML-RPC requests that can lead to a NULL pointer dereference. (bug #51288) (CVE-2010-0397)

- An error exists in the function 'fnmatch' that can lead to stack exhaustion.

- An error exists in the sqlite extension that could allow arbitrary memory access.

- A memory corruption error exists in the function 'substr_replace'.

- The following functions are not properly protected against function interruptions :

addcslashes, chunk_split, html_entity_decode, iconv_mime_decode, iconv_substr, iconv_mime_encode, htmlentities, htmlspecialchars, str_getcsv, http_build_query, strpbrk, strstr, str_pad, str_word_count, wordwrap, strtok, setcookie, strip_tags, trim, ltrim, rtrim, parse_str, pack, unpack, uasort, preg_match, strrchr, strchr, substr, str_repeat (CVE-2010-1860, CVE-2010-1862, CVE-2010-1864, CVE-2010-2097, CVE-2010-2100, CVE-2010-2101, CVE-2010-2190, CVE-2010-2191, CVE-2010-2484)
