Summary: Updated php packages fix security vulnerabilities

Details: Use-after-free vulnerability in ext/spl/spl_array.c in the SPL component in PHP through 5.5.14 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted ArrayIterator usage within applications in certain web-hosting environments (CVE-2014-4698). Use-after-free vulnerability in ext/spl/spl_dllist.c in the SPL component in PHP through 5.5.14 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted iterator usage within applications in certain web-hosting environments (CVE-2014-4670). file before 5.19 does not properly restrict the amount of data read during a regex search, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via a crafted file that triggers backtracking during processing of an awk rule, due to an incomplete fix for CVE-2013-7345 (CVE-2014-3538). The php packages have been updated to 5.4.31 for Mageia 3 and 5.5.14 for Mageia 4, and additional patches have been added to fix these issues and several other bugs. Also, php-apc has been rebuilt against the updated PHP versions and the php-timezonedb package has been updated to the latest version, 2014.5. Additionally, the jsonc extension has been upgraded to the 1.3.6 version.
