Summary

PHP 5 before 5.2.3 does not enforce the open_basedir or safe_mode restriction in certain cases, which allows context-dependent attackers to determine the existence of arbitrary files by checking if the readfile function returns a string. NOTE: this issue might also involve the realpath function.

Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)

Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)

  • Accessing, Modifying or Executing Executable Files
    An attack of this type exploits a system's configuration that allows an attacker to either directly access an executable file, for example through shell access; or in a possible worst case allows an attacker to upload a file and then execute it. Web servers, ftp servers, and message oriented middleware systems which have many integration points are particularly vulnerable, because both the programmers and the administrators must be in synch regarding the interfaces and the correct privileges for each interface.
  • Leverage Executable Code in Non-Executable Files
    An attack of this type exploits a system's trust in configuration and resource files, when the executable loads the resource (such as an image file or configuration file) the attacker has modified the file to either execute malicious code directly or manipulate the target process (e.g. application server) to execute based on the malicious configuration parameters. Since systems are increasingly interrelated mashing up resources from local and remote sources the possibility of this attack occurring is high. The attack can be directed at a client system, such as causing buffer overrun through loading seemingly benign image files, as in Microsoft Security Bulletin MS04-028 where specially crafted JPEG files could cause a buffer overrun once loaded into the browser. Another example targets clients reading pdf files. In this case the attacker simply appends javascript to the end of a legitimate url for a pdf (http://www.gnucitizen.org/blog/danger-danger-danger/) http://path/to/pdf/file.pdf#whatever_name_you_want=javascript:your_code_here The client assumes that they are reading a pdf, but the attacker has modified the resource and loaded executable javascript into the client's browser process. The attack can also target server processes. The attacker edits the resource or configuration file, for example a web.xml file used to configure security permissions for a J2EE app server, adding role name "public" grants all users with the public role the ability to use the administration functionality. The server trusts its configuration file to be correct, but when they are manipulated, the attacker gains full control.
  • Blue Boxing
    This type of attack against older telephone switches and trunks has been around for decades. A tone is sent by an adversary to impersonate a supervisor signal which has the effect of rerouting or usurping command of the line. While the US infrastructure proper may not contain widespread vulnerabilities to this type of attack, many companies are connected globally through call centers and business process outsourcing. These international systems may be operated in countries which have not upgraded Telco infrastructure and so are vulnerable to Blue boxing. Blue boxing is a result of failure on the part of the system to enforce strong authorization for administrative functions. While the infrastructure is different than standard current applications like web applications, there are historical lessons to be learned to upgrade the access control for administrative functions.
  • Restful Privilege Elevation
    Rest uses standard HTTP (Get, Put, Delete) style permissions methods, but these are not necessarily correlated generally with back end programs. Strict interpretation of HTTP get methods means that these HTTP Get services should not be used to delete information on the server, but there is no access control mechanism to back up this logic. This means that unless the services are properly ACL'd and the application's service implementation are following these guidelines then an HTTP request can easily execute a delete or update on the server side. The attacker identifies a HTTP Get URL such as http://victimsite/updateOrder, which calls out to a program to update orders on a database or other resource. The URL is not idempotent so the request can be submitted multiple times by the attacker, additionally, the attacker may be able to exploit the URL published as a Get method that actually performs updates (instead of merely retrieving data). This may result in malicious or inadvertent altering of data on the server.
  • Target Programs with Elevated Privileges
    This attack targets programs running with elevated privileges. The attacker would try to leverage a bug in the running program and get arbitrary code to execute with elevated privileges. For instance an attacker would look for programs that write to the system directories or registry keys (such as HKLM, which stores a number of critical Windows environment variables). These programs are typically running with elevated privileges and have usually not been designed with security in mind. Such programs are excellent exploit targets because they yield lots of power when they break. The malicious user try to execute its code at the same level as a privileged system call.

    due to insufficient boundary checks in the strspn() and strcspn()
    functions, an issue discovered by Mattias Bengtsson and Philip Olausson
    (CVE-2007-4657)
    Stefan Esser reported incorrect validation in the FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL
    filter of the Filter extension allowing arbitrary email header
    injection (CVE-2007-1900). NOTE: This CVE was referenced, but not fixed
    in GLSA 200705-19.
    Stanislav Malyshev found an error with unknown impact in the
    money_format() function when processing '%i' and '%n' tokens
    (CVE-2007-4658). zatanzlatan reported a buffer overflow in the
    php_openssl_make_REQ() function with unknown impact when providing a
    manipulated SSL configuration file (CVE-2007-4662). Possible memory
    corruption when trying to read EXIF data in exif_read_data() and
    exif_thumbnail() occurred with unknown impact.
    Several vulnerabilities that allow bypassing of open_basedir and other
    restrictions were reported, including the glob() function
    (CVE-2007-4663), the session_save_path(), ini_set(), and error_log()
    functions which can allow local command execution (CVE-2007-3378),
    involving the readfile() function (CVE-2007-3007), via the Session
    extension (CVE-2007-4652), via the MySQL extension (CVE-2007-3997) and
    in the dl() function which allows loading extensions outside of the
    specified directory (CVE-2007-4825).
    Multiple Denial of Service vulnerabilities were discovered, including a
    long 'library' parameter in the dl() function (CVE-2007-4887), in
    several iconv and xmlrpc functions (CVE-2007-4840 and CVE-2007-4783),
    in the setlocale() function (CVE-2007-4784), in the glob() and
    fnmatch() function (CVE-2007-4782 and CVE-2007-3806), a floating point
    exception in the wordwrap() function (CVE-2007-3998), a stack
    exhaustion via deeply nested arrays (CVE-2007-4670), an infinite loop
    caused by a specially crafted PNG image in the png_read_info() function
    of libpng (CVE-2007-2756) and several issues related to array
    conversion.
  
Impact :

    Remote attackers might be able to exploit these issues in PHP
    applications making use of the affected functions, potentially
    resulting in the execution of arbitrary code, Denial of Service,
    execution of scripted contents in the context of the affected site,
    security bypass or information leak.
  
Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time."

  • NASL familyCGI abuses
    NASL idPHP_5_2_3.NASL
    descriptionAccording to its banner, the version of PHP installed on the remote host is older than 5.2.3. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities: - A buffer overflow in the sqlite_decode_function() in the bundled sqlite library could allow context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2007-1887) - A CRLF injection vulnerability in the FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL filter could allow an attacker to inject arbitrary email headers via a special email address. This only affects Mandriva Linux 2007.1. (CVE-2007-1900) - An infinite-loop flaw was discovered in the PHP gd extension. A script that could be forced to process PNG images from an untrusted source could allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2007-2756) - An integer overflow flaw was found in the chunk_split() function that ould possibly execute arbitrary code as the apache user if a remote attacker was able to pass arbitrary data to the third argument of chunk_split() (CVE-2007-2872). - An open_basedir and safe_mode restriction bypass which could allow context-dependent attackers to determine the existence of arbitrary files. (CVE-2007-3007)
