PHP is an HTML-embedded scripting language commonly used with the Apache
HTTP Server.

A buffer overflow flaw was found in the way PHP parsed deeply nested XML
documents. If a PHP application used the xml_parse_into_struct() function
to parse untrusted XML content, an attacker able to supply
specially-crafted XML could use this flaw to crash the application or,
possibly, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running
the PHP interpreter. (CVE-2013-4113)

All php users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a
backported patch to resolve this issue. After installing the updated
packages, the httpd daemon must be restarted for the update to take effect.
