Source: php5 Severity: normal I ran into a somewhat special-case bug with the Debian patch that guesses the timezone from the system default.
The system timezone is set to "Europe/London" in /etc/timezone, while php.ini date.timezone is unset. In this case (after the recent change from DST to normal time) the PHP function date_default_timezone_get() reports the timezone as UTC. Although this is equivalent outside daylight saving time, it is not during DST, which leads to wrong conversions between date/time strings and Unix timestamps. I would suggest that the timezone be directly read from /etc/timezone before using php_localtime_r(), which I assume has to infer the timezone from an offset from UTC only.
