Fixed a possible information leak because of interruption of XOR operator. Fixed a possible memory corruption because of unexpected call-time pass by reference and following memory clobbering through callbacks. Fixed a possible memory corruption in ArrayObject::uasort(). Fixed a possible memory corruption in parse_str(). Fixed a possible memory corruption in pack(). Fixed a possible memory corruption in substr_replace(). Fixed a possible memory corruption in addcslashes(). Fixed a possible stack exhaustion inside fnmatch(). Fixed a possible dechunking filter buffer overflow. Fixed a possible arbitrary memory access inside sqlite extension. Fixed string format validation inside phar extension. Fixed handling of session variable serialization on certain prefix characters. Fixed a NULL pointer dereference when processing invalid XML-RPC requests. Fixed SplObjectStorage unserialization problems. Fixed possible buffer overflows in mysqlnd_list_fields, mysqlnd_change_user. Fixed possible buffer overflows when handling error packets in mysqlnd.

Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2010-068 - The xmlrpc extension in PHP 5.3.1 does not properly handle a missing methodName element in the first argument to the xmlrpc_decode_request function, which allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and application crash) and possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted argument. Packages for 2008.0 are provided for Corporate Desktop 2008.0 customers. The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.
