PHP 5 before 5.2.7 does not properly initialize the page_uid and page_gid
global variables for use by the SAPI php_getuid function, which allows
context-dependent attackers to bypass safe_mode restrictions via variable
settings that are intended to be restricted to root, as demonstrated by a
setting of /etc for the error_log variable.

Notes

Author Note
mdeslaur the second upstream patch is for apache 1.x sapi apache 1.x is still in Dapper, so we better include it
