Package: php4
Version: 4:4.3.10-16
Severity: important
Tags: security

A vulnerability in PHP's exif code has been found that may DoS a PHP
installation through crafted JPEG images that triggers an infinite
recursion. Details are sparse, but Red Hat has fixed the problem:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=166943

This has been assigned CVE-2005-3353 and is different from the recent
EXIF DoS problem wrt IFD levels, which was CVE-2005-1043, PHP bug 28451
and which was fixed upstream in 4.3.11.

Cheers,
           Moritz
