Description of problem: MOPB-03-2007 describes how, on automatic deallocation of an input variable containing a deeply-nested-array, the PHP uses recursion which may overflow the process stack and crash. The impact of this issue is to allow remote attackers to cause premature termination of the process running the PHP interpreter; in most multi-process web servers such processes are immediately replaced at a minor cost to performance. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): php-5.1.6-6.el5
