“PHP 5.3 was released at the end of June, so the 5.3.1
point update has been in the works for five months at this point.

“On the security fix front two of the bug fixes are for safe
mode items which could have left a PHP system at risk:

* Fixed a safe_mode bypass in tempnam().
* Fixed bug #50063 (safe_mode_include_dir fails).

“The three other fixes are a collection of different
issues.”
