CVE-2012-0788
Description
From CVE.org
The PDORow implementation in PHP before 5.3.9 does not properly interact with the session feature, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted application that uses a PDO driver for a fetch and then calls the session_start function, as demonstrated by a crash of the Apache HTTP Server.
Statement
Red Hat does not consider this flaw to be a security issue. The bug can only be triggered by the PHP script author, which does not cross trust boundary.
