 Anything security-related you know of or just a wild guess?
Not exactly a wild guess, I just didn't want to make a statement
on whether these are security problems or not:
  * INFILE LOCAL option handling vs. open_basedir or safe_mode
  * A crash inside pdo_pgsql on some non-well-formed SQL queries
(both from php-5.2.4 ChangeLog)

That's why I said possibly. :)

Since the second is only locally invoked* DoS and the first an
ever-beloved workaround for the basedir restriction, we don't
need to say goodbye with a maskglsa.

Thanks,

The pdo-external USE flag was already removed from all dev-lang/php-5.2*
ebuilds (through php5_2-sapi.eclass) some days ago, php-5.1* is masked
for removal anyway.

Those external PDO packages do no longer serve any purpose (they are
outdated, upstream does not seem to do any new releases at all) as
php-5.2* includes the same set of features already (same code base,
just more up-to-date).
