Meanwhile I've heard back from the Updates System Maintainer.
php-5.2.4-1.fc7 was "unpushed" (that is a notion specific to the
Fedora Updates System "bodhi") by the package maintainer according to
the logs. It's unbelievable that something like that is possible for a
stable dist, as users have fetched and installed the updates already.
It has never been possible according to release policies to withdraw a
released update from the repositories or to downgrade to an older
version-release. It will be continued to look into this matter.

It was done at least once (in pre-F7 times, maybe FC6, FC5 or so) for a broken
kernel upgrade. The maintainer decided that it's better to withdraw the broken
update to minimize damage until it's fixed. It may well be that this is what
happened here too.

Brown paper-bag situations ask for announcements of some sort.
Especially when it's a serious [dangerous] bug in a kernel which may
have been installed by our precious users already. It would be a
really bad joke to pull such an update _silently_ without informing
the package users.

I have reopened the update request and added the Security keyword.

Luke Macken has pushed back php-5.2.4-1.fc7 into updates.
