Summary

fopen_wrappers.c in PHP 4.4.0, and possibly other versions, does not properly restrict access to other directories when the open_basedir directive includes a trailing slash, which allows PHP scripts in one directory to access files in other directories whose names are substrings of the original directory.

    descriptionThe remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200511-08 (PHP: Multiple vulnerabilities) Multiple vulnerabilities have been found and fixed in PHP: a possible $GLOBALS variable overwrite problem through file upload handling, extract() and import_request_variables() (CVE-2005-3390) a local Denial of Service through the use of the session.save_path option (CVE-2005-3319) an issue with trailing slashes in allowed basedirs (CVE-2005-3054) an issue with calling virtual() on Apache 2, allowing to bypass safe_mode and open_basedir restrictions (CVE-2005-3392) a problem when a request was terminated due to memory_limit constraints during certain parse_str() calls (CVE-2005-3389) The curl and gd modules allowed to bypass the safe mode open_basedir restrictions (CVE-2005-3391) a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in phpinfo() (CVE-2005-3388) Impact : Attackers could leverage these issues to exploit applications that are assumed to be secure through the use of proper register_globals, safe_mode or open_basedir parameters. Remote attackers could also conduct cross-site scripting attacks if a page calling phpinfo() was available. Finally, a local attacker could cause a local Denial of Service using malicious session.save_path options. Workaround : There is no known workaround that would solve all issues at this time.

    descriptionA number of vulnerabilities were discovered in PHP : An issue with fopen_wrappers.c would not properly restrict access to other directories when the open_basedir directive included a trailing slash (CVE-2005-3054); this issue does not affect Corporate Server 2.1. An issue with the apache2handler SAPI in mod_php could allow an attacker to cause a Denial of Service via the session.save_path option in an .htaccess file or VirtualHost stanza (CVE-2005-3319); this issue does not affect Corporate Server 2.1. A Denial of Service vulnerability was discovered in the way that PHP processes EXIF image data which could allow an attacker to cause PHP to crash by supplying carefully crafted EXIF image data (CVE-2005-3353). A cross-site scripting vulnerability was discovered in the phpinfo() function which could allow for the injection of JavaScript or HTML content onto a page displaying phpinfo() output, or to steal data such as cookies (CVE-2005-3388). A flaw in the parse_str() function could allow for the enabling of register_globals, even if it was disabled in the PHP configuration file (CVE-2005-3389). A vulnerability in the way that PHP registers global variables during a file upload request could allow a remote attacker to overwrite the $GLOBALS array which could potentially lead the execution of arbitrary PHP commands. This vulnerability only affects systems with register_globals enabled (CVE-2005-3390). The updated packages have been patched to address this issue. Once the new packages have been installed, you will need to restart your Apache server using
