[--- 1. Multiple NULL Pointer Dereference with zend_strndup() [CVE-2011-4153] 
---]
As we can see in zend_strndup()

-zend_alloca.c---
ZEND_API char *zend_strndup(const char *s, uint length)
{
        char *p;

        p = (char *) malloc(length+1);
        if (UNEXPECTED(p == NULL)) {
                return p; <=== RETURN NULL
        }
        if (length) {
                memcpy(p, s, length);
        }
        p[length] = 0;
        return p;
}
-zend_alloca.c---

zend_strndup() may return NULL

in php code, many calls to zend_strndup() dosen't checks returned values. In 
result, places like:

-zend_builtin_functions.c---
ZEND_FUNCTION(define)
{
        char *name;
        int name_len;
        zval *val;
        zval *val_free = NULL;
        zend_bool non_cs = 0;
        int case_sensitive = CONST_CS;
        zend_constant c;

        if (zend_parse_parameters(ZEND_NUM_ARGS() TSRMLS_CC, "sz|b", &name, 
&name_len, &val, &non_cs) == FAILURE) {
                return;
        }
..
        c.flags = case_sensitive; /* non persistent */
        c.name = zend_strndup(name, name_len); <======== MAY RETURN NULL
        c.name_len = name_len+1;
        c.module_number = PHP_USER_CONSTANT;
        if (zend_register_constant(&c TSRMLS_CC) == SUCCESS) {
                RETURN_TRUE;
        } else {
                RETURN_FALSE;
        }
}
-zend_builtin_functions.c---

[--- 2. Tidy::diagnose() NULL pointer dereference ---]
Class tidy, may provide to null pointer dereference using tidy lib.

I do not consider this vulnerability as a having security impact other as DoS.
