PHP MySQLI Error Logging Remote Format String Vulnerability

PHP is susceptible to a remote format string vulnerability in the 'mysqli' extension. This issue is due to a failure of the application to properly sanitize user-supplied input prior to using it in the format-specifier argument to a formatted printing function.

This issue allows attackers to execute arbitrary machine code in the context of the Web server hosting the PHP interpreter.

This issue affects PHP 5.1.0, and 5.1.1.
