Comment 2 Remi Collet 2013-01-21 14:20:32 UTC 
I think this doesn't affects php (RHEL-6) nor php53 (RHEL-5) which are 5.3.3 based.

According to CVE, issue was introduced, int php-5.3.9, by
http://git.php.net/?p=php-src.git;a=commitdiff;h=095cbc48a8f0090f3b0abc6155f2b61943c9eafb

After check, this is not applied in any of our patches.
