Comment 5 Tomas Hoger 2009-03-25 09:07:23 UTC 
This issue is unlikely to affect PHP installations running on Red Hat Enterprise Linux, as there's no FastCGI httpd module shipped.  Typical installations use PHP as an httpd module, and are not affected by this flaw.  Upcoming PHP security update will address this flaw.
