CVE-2009-3294
Description
From CVE.org
The popen API function in TSRM/tsrm_win32.c in PHP before 5.2.11 and 5.3.x before 5.3.1, when running on certain Windows operating systems, allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted (1) "e" or (2) "er" string in the second argument (aka mode), possibly related to the _fdopen function in the Microsoft C runtime library. NOTE: this might not cross privilege boundaries except in rare cases in which the mode argument is accessible to an attacker outside of an application that uses the popen function.
Statement
Not vulnerable. This issue did not affect the versions of php as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3, 4, or 5, and Red Hat Application Stack v2.
