The win32std extension in PHP 5.2.3 does not follow safe_mode and disable_functions restrictions, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via the win_shell_execute function.
Multiple buffer overflows in the php_ntuser component for PHP 5.2.3 allow context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code via long arguments to the (1) ntuser_getuserlist, (2) ntuser_getuserinfo, (3) ntuser_getusergroups, or (4) ntuser_getdomaincontroller functions.

PHP 4.4.4, 5.1.6, and other versions, when running on Apache, allows local users to modify behavior of other sites hosted on the same web server by modifying the mbstring.func_overload setting within .htaccess, which causes this setting to be applied to other virtual hosts on the same server.
Format string vulnerability in the zend_throw_or_error function in Zend/zend_execute_API.c in PHP 7.x before 7.0.1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via format string specifiers in a string that is misused as a class name, leading to incorrect error handling.
The popen API function in TSRM/tsrm_win32.c in PHP before 5.2.11 and 5.3.x before 5.3.1, when running on certain Windows operating systems, allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted (1) "e" or (2) "er" string in the second argument (aka mode), possibly related to the _fdopen function in the Microsoft C runtime library.
