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

The php_register_variable_ex function in php_variables.c in PHP 5.3.9 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a request containing a large number of variables, related to improper handling of array variables. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incorrect fix for CVE-2011-4885.
