The PHP development team is proud to announce the release of PHP 5.1.2. This release combines small feature enhancements with a fair number of bug fixes and addresses three security issues. All PHP 5 users are encouraged to upgrade to this release.
The security issues resolved include the following:
HTTP Response Splitting has been addressed in ext/session and in the header() function. Header() can no longer be used to send multiple response headers in a single call.
Format string vulnerability in ext/mysqli.
Possible cross-site scripting problems in certain error conditions.
The feature enhancements include the following notables:

XMLWriter was added and enabled by default.
New OCI8 extension that includes numerous fixes.
PNG compression support added to the GD extension.
