CVE-2012-0789  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-399  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade php to version 5.3.9 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Resource Management Errors. Memory leak in the timezone functionality in PHP before 5.3.9 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by triggering many strtotime function calls, which are not properly handled by the php_date_parse_tzfile cache.
