Here are the details from the Slackware 11.0 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
extra/php5/php-5.2.0-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to php-5.2.0.
 This release 'includes a large number of new features, bug fixes and security
 enhancements.' In particular, when the UTF-8 charset is selected there are
 buffer overflows in the htmlspecialchars() and htmlentities() that may be
 exploited to execute arbitrary code.
 More details about the vulnerability may be found here:

 Further details about the release can be found in the release announcement:
 [link moved to references]
 Some syntax has changed since PHP 5.1.x. An upgrading guide may be found at
 this location:
 [link moved to references]
 This package was placed in /extra rather than /patches to save people from
 possible surprises with automated upgrade tools, since users of PHP4 and
 PHP 5.1.x applications may need to make some code changes before things will
 work again.
 (* Security fix *)
patches/packages/php-4.4.4-i486-4_slack11.0.tgz: Patched the UTF-8 overflow.
