Welcome to the Zend Framework 1.10 Release! 

RELEASE INFORMATION
---------------
Zend Framework 1.10.9 Release (r24023).
Released on May 05, 2011.

SECURITY NOTICE FOR 1.10.9
--------------------------

This release includes a patch that helps prevent SQL injection
attacks in applications using the MySQL PDO driver of PHP while
using non-ASCII compatible encodings. Developers using ASCII-
compatible encodings like UTF8 or latin1 are not affected by
this PHP issue, which is described in more detail here:
http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=47802

The PHP Group included a feature in PHP 5.3.6+ that allows any
character set information to be passed as part of the DSN in
PDO to allow both the database as well as the c-level driver to be
aware of which charset is in use which is of special importance
when PDO::quote() is utilized, which Zend Framework makes use of.

Our patch ensures that any charset information provided to the
Zend_Db PDO MySQL adapter will be sent to PDO both as part of
the DSN as well as in a SET NAMES query.  This ensures that any
developer using ZF on PHP 5.3.6+ while using non-ASCII compatible
encodings is safe from SQL injection while using the PDO's 
quoting mechanisms or emulated prepared statements.

If you are using non-ASCII compatible encodings, like GBK, we
strongly urge you to consider upgrading to at least PHP 5.3.6 and
use Zend Framework version 1.11.6 or 1.10.9
