After upgrading php to

ii  libapache2-mod-php5              5.3.10-1ubuntu3.6
ii  php5-cli                         5.3.10-1ubuntu3.6

We noticed that we've got some temporary problems with loading wsdl by
soap client, it doesn't no matter about location of wsdl, this bug
includes loading wsdl from local disk and from remote using http
protocol.  In php logs we've got only information:

[26-Mar-2013 10:55:15 UTC] PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught SoapFault exception: [WSDL] SOAP-ERROR: Parsing WSDL: Couldn't load from '/tmp/test_wsdl' : failed to load external entity "/tmp/test_wsdl"
 in /var/www/http/test.php:11
Stack trace:
#0 /var/www/http/test.php(11): SoapClient->SoapClient('/tmp/test_wsdl')
#1 {main}
  thrown in /var/www/http/test.php on line 11

And after restart apache instance it will works for a while, and then
problem returns.

Important is, that this problem does not apply to CLI client, it applies
only when you are trying to run file from apache instance.

As we can see in changelog there was some changes in soap and XML and
maybe that is the reason of this problems. ( In the previous version of
php we didn't have any problems with soap )

* SECURITY UPDATE: arbitrary file disclosure via XML External Entity
    - debian/patches/CVE-2013-1643.patch: disable the entity loader in
      ext/libxml/libxml.c, ext/libxml/php_libxml.h, ext/soap/php_xml.c.
