How to fix?

Upgrade php to version 5.2.14, 5.3.3 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Information Exposure. The var_export function in PHP 5.2 before 5.2.14 and 5.3 before 5.3.3 flushes the output buffer to the user when certain fatal errors occur, even if display_errors is off, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information by causing the application to exceed limits for memory, execution time, or recursion.
