Upstream commit:
http://git.php.net/?p=php-src.git;a=commitdiff;h=4605d536d23b00813d11cc906bb48d39bdcf5f25

A specially-crafted multipart/form-data HTTP request can cause PHP to use an excessive amount of CPU time.  The amount of time spent parsing such malicious request is limited by the max_input_time php.ini setting (the default limit is 60s).  Lowering the limit can be used to mitigate the issue.  Another possible mitigation is to lower post_max_size limit.  However, it may not be practical to lower the value enough to sufficiently mitigate the issue.

Comment 6 Fedora Update System 2015-05-27 16:13:04 UTC
php-5.6.9-1.fc21 has been pushed to the Fedora 21 stable repository.  If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
