Assigned: 20120119
Reference: http://svn.php.net/viewvc?view=revision&revision=323016

PHP before 5.3.10 does not properly perform a temporary change to the
magic_quotes_gpc directive during the importing of environment
variables, which makes it easier for remote attackers to conduct SQL
injection attacks via a crafted request, related to
main/php_variables.c, sapi/cgi/cgi_main.c, and
sapi/fpm/fpm/fpm_main.c.
