Comment(by Denis-de-Bernardy):

 Well, yeah... bit if any such attack affects this patch, there arguably
 are scores (and I mean scores) of other areas where mb safe functions
 should be used instead of default php functions.

 My personal hope is that php will eventually merge the mb_ functions' code
 into the normal string functions. I mean, heck, it's the only reasonable
 way to fix all of the broken php code around. The overload ini setting
 just isn't enough, and using wrapper functions with conditionals on every
 built-in string function adds lots of overhead.
