This is a re-release of GLSA-200302-09 becuse the first post
contained some errors.

From release notes:

"PHP contains code for preventing direct access to the CGI binary with
configure option "--enable-force-cgi-redirect" and php.ini option
"cgi.force_redirect". In PHP 4.3.0 there is a bug which renders these
options useless."

SOLUTION

It is recommended that all Gentoo Linux users who are running
dev-php/mod_php upgrade to mod_php-4.3.1 as follows:

emerge sync
emerge -u mod_php
emerge clean
