googling for "vulnerabilities in php 5.3"
yeilded many interesting links. Here is one:

Security wise, there are many tools for testing the security of
your web server, hopefully, you are concurrent on your server
testing:

Scanner List

open source list at the bottom....



Google for php-<version>-bugs to see if any related to your
servers.

If what you have done is secure, then it *should* be ok, just
monitor and watch your logs closely for a while.
