Bugzilla:
480169: CVE-2008-5844 php: change to the FILTER_UNSAFE_RAW in 5.2.7 breaks magic_quotes_gpc

The MITRE CVE dictionary describes this issue as:

PHP 5.2.7 contains an incorrect change to the FILTER_UNSAFE_RAW functionality, and unintentionally disables magic_quotes_gpc regardless of the actual magic_quotes_gpc setting, which might make it easier for context-dependent attackers to conduct SQL injection attacks and unspecified other attacks.
