Remediation

Red Hat statement

The PHP interpreter does not offer a reliable "sandboxed" security layer (as found in, say, a JVM) in which untrusted scripts can be run; any script run by the PHP interpreter must be trusted with the privileges of the interpreter itself. We therefore do not classify this issue as security-sensitive since no trust boundary is crossed. This CVE name is a duplicate as the vulnerability is addressed by CVE-2007-0906.
