A security flaw was found in the way SOAP parser of PHP processed certain SOAP objects (due to allowed expansion of XML external entities during SOAP WSDL files parsing, it was previously possible to read arbitrary system files, accessible with the privileges of the PHP application). If a PHP application accepted untrusted SOAP object input remotely from clients, an attacker could use this flaw for unauthorized of read system files (accesible with the privileges of the PHP application).

This issue was not correctly fixed in 5.4.12 or 5.3.22, so CVE-2013-1824 was assigned to the incorrect fix present in 5.4.12 and 5.3.22. It was correctly fixed in 5.4.13 and 5.3.23. Since we have not fixed this in our package yet, CVE-2013-1824 does not apply to us (we never provided the incorrect fix).
