Summary

Buffer overflow in the imap_fetch_overview function in the IMAP functionality (php_imap.c) in PHP before 4.3.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (segmentation fault) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a long e-mail address in a (1) To or (2) From header.

    Red Hat Security Response Team.
    
    PHP is an HTML-embedded scripting language commonly used with the
    Apache HTTP Web server.
    
    The phpinfo() PHP function did not properly sanitize long strings. An
    attacker could use this to perform cross-site scripting attacks
    against sites that have publicly-available PHP scripts that call
    phpinfo(). (CVE-2006-0996)
    
    The html_entity_decode() PHP function was found to not be binary safe.
    An attacker could use this flaw to disclose a certain part of the
    memory. In order for this issue to be exploitable the target site
    would need to have a PHP script which called the
    'html_entity_decode()' function with untrusted input from the user and
    displayed the result. (CVE-2006-1490)
    
    The error handling output was found to not properly escape HTML output
    in certain cases. An attacker could use this flaw to perform
    cross-site scripting attacks against sites where both display_errors
    and html_errors are enabled. (CVE-2006-0208)
    
    An input validation error was found in the 'mb_send_mail()' function.
    An attacker could use this flaw to inject arbitrary headers in a mail
    sent via a script calling the 'mb_send_mail()' function where the 'To'
    parameter can be controlled by the attacker. (CVE-2005-3883)
    
    A buffer overflow flaw was discovered in uw-imap, the University of
    Washington's IMAP Server. php-imap is compiled against the static
    c-client libraries from imap and therefore needed to be recompiled
    against the fixed version. This issue only affected Red Hat Enterprise
    Linux 3. (CVE-2005-2933).
    
    Users of PHP should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain
    backported patches that resolve these issues."
