Summary: Updated php packages fix security vulnerabilities

Details: Updated php packages fix security vulnerabilities: Memory Corruption in phar_parse_tarfile when entry filename starts with null (CVE-2015-4021). Integer overflow in ftp_genlist() resulting in heap overflow, potentially exploitable by a hostile FTP server (CVE-2015-4022). PHP Multipart/form-data parsing remote DoS Vulnerability (CVE-2015-4024). Various functions allow \0 in paths where they shouldn't. In theory, that could lead to security failure for path-based access controls if the user injects a string with \0 in it. These functions include set_include_path(), tempnam(), rmdir(), and readlink() (CVE-2015-4025), as well as pcntl_exec() (CVE-2015-4026).
