Insight
Some vulnerabilities were discovered and corrected in php: PHP 5.2.11, and 5.3.x before 5.3.1, does not restrict the number of temporary files created when handling a multipart/form-data POST request, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (resource exhaustion), and makes it easier for remote attackers to exploit local file inclusion vulnerabilities, via multiple requests, related to lack of support for the max_file_uploads directive (CVE-2009-4017). The updated packages have been patched to correct these issues. Affected: Corporate 3.0, Corporate 4.0, Multi Network Firewall 2.0
