How to fix?

Upgrade Centos:6 php-enchant to version 0:5.3.3-3.el6_2.8 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream php-enchant package and not the php-enchant package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

sapi/cgi/cgi_main.c in PHP before 5.3.12 and 5.4.x before 5.4.2, when configured as a CGI script (aka php-cgi), does not properly handle query strings that lack an = (equals sign) character, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by placing command-line options in the query string, related to lack of skipping a certain php_getopt for the 'd' case.
