Comment 8 Vincent Danen 2015-02-09 14:29:03 UTC
Statement:

This issue did not affect the versions of php as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and 6 or the versions of php53 as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 as the original flaw (CVE-2014-8142) did not affect these versions.

Comment 9 Remi Collet 2015-02-16 15:20:33 UTC
I confirm that php 5.3.3 is not affected.
None of the upstream reproducer cause segfault (bug 68594, 68710)

The affected piece of code have been add in 5.3.9 [1]
So this CVE probably affects php >= 5.3.9.
