Luca, you are correct about the USN. The patch in the USN came from
Debian but the code in Ubuntu is not built since php-imap is broken out
(and therefore, unfortunately, not tested). Looking at the patch, a lot
of the differences can be attributed to changing the memory allocation
for 'string' from static to dynamic, but there are other changes that
are not as clear.

Marc pointed out to me that the patch is from http://patch-
tracker.debian.org/patch/series/view/php5/5.2.6.dfsg.1-1+lenny4/CVE-2008-2829.patch.
It looks like all of Devid's patches for hardy and later match this
patch. I checked the Debian BTS and couldn't find any regressions from
applying this patch.

Sorry for the confusion, though this could have been avoided if the
debdiffs followed DEP-3 and gave links to the upstream bug and commits.
