Yury Dyachenko discovered that Zend Framework uses the PHP XML parser

requests, potentially accessing restricted information.

For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in
version 1.10.6-1squeeze2.

For the testing distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in
version 1.11.13-1.1.
