CVE-2011-0755
Description
From CVE.org
Integer overflow in the mt_rand function in PHP before 5.3.4 might make it easier for context-dependent attackers to predict the return values by leveraging a script's use of a large max parameter, as demonstrated by a value that exceeds mt_getrandmax.
Statement
Red Hat does not consider this flaw to be a security issue as arguments passed to the mt_rand function are under the full control of the script author. No trust boundary is crossed.
This flaw exists in the php53 packages versions as shipped in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and the php packages versions as shipped in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
