NASL family Ubuntu Local Security Checks NASL id UBUNTU_USN-628-1.NASL description It was discovered that PHP did not properly check the length of the string parameter to the fnmatch function. An attacker could cause a denial of service in the PHP interpreter if a script passed untrusted input to the fnmatch function. (CVE-2007-4782) Maksymilian Arciemowicz discovered a flaw in the cURL library that allowed safe_mode and open_basedir restrictions to be bypassed. If a PHP application were tricked into processing a bad file:// request, an attacker could read arbitrary files. (CVE-2007-4850) Rasmus Lerdorf discovered that the htmlentities and htmlspecialchars functions did not correctly stop when handling partial multibyte sequences. A remote attacker could exploit this to read certain areas of memory, possibly gaining access to sensitive information. This issue affects Ubuntu 8.04 LTS, and an updated fix is included for Ubuntu 6.06 LTS, 7.04 and 7.10. (CVE-2007-5898) It was discovered that the output_add_rewrite_var function would sometimes leak session id information to forms targeting remote URLs.

The output_add_rewrite_var() function in PHP prior to 5.2.5 rewrites local forms in which the ACTION attribute references a non-local URL, which could allow a remote attacker to obtain potentially sensitive information by reading the requests for this URL (CVE-2007-5899). php-cgi in PHP prior to 5.2.6 does not properly calculate the length of PATH_TRANSLATED, which has unknown impact and attack vectors (CVE-2008-0599). The escapeshellcmd() API function in PHP prior to 5.2.6 has unknown impact and context-dependent attack vectors related to incomplete multibyte characters (CVE-2008-2051). Weaknesses in the GENERATE_SEED macro in PHP prior to 4.4.8 and 5.2.5 were discovered that could produce a zero seed in rare circumstances on 32bit systems and generations a portion of zero bits during conversion due to insufficient precision on 64bit systems (CVE-2008-2107, CVE-2008-2108). The IMAP module in PHP uses obsolete API calls that allow context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a long IMAP request (CVE-2008-2829). In addition, this update also corrects an issue with some float to string conversions. The updated packages have been patched to correct these issues. last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 38042 published 2009-04-23 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2009-2019 Tenable Network Security, Inc. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/38042 title Mandriva Linux Security Advisory : php (MDVSA-2008:127) NASL family CentOS Local Security Checks NASL id CENTOS_RHSA-2008-0544.NASL description Updated PHP packages that fix several security issues are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 and 5. This update has been rated as having moderate security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team. PHP is an HTML-embedded scripting language commonly used with the Apache HTTP Web server. It was discovered that the PHP escapeshellcmd() function did not properly escape multi-byte characters which are not valid in the locale used by the script. This could allow an attacker to bypass quoting restrictions imposed by escapeshellcmd() and execute arbitrary commands if the PHP script was using certain locales. Scripts using the default UTF-8 locale are not affected by this issue. (CVE-2008-2051) PHP functions htmlentities() and htmlspecialchars() did not properly recognize partial multi-byte sequences. Certain sequences of bytes could be passed through these functions without being correctly HTML-escaped. Depending on the browser being used, an attacker could use this flaw to conduct cross-site scripting attacks. (CVE-2007-5898) A PHP script which used the transparent session ID configuration option, or which used the output_add_rewrite_var() function, could leak session identifiers to external websites.

Remote attackers could exploit this to cause a crash or monopolize CPU resources, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2007-3998) Integer overflows were discovered in the strspn and strcspn functions. Attackers could exploit this to read arbitrary areas of memory, possibly gaining access to sensitive information. (CVE-2007-4657) Stanislav Malyshev discovered that money_format function did not correctly handle certain tokens. If a PHP application were tricked into processing a bad format string, a remote attacker could execute arbitrary code with application privileges. (CVE-2007-4658) It was discovered that the php_openssl_make_REQ function did not correctly check buffer lengths. A remote attacker could send a specially crafted message and execute arbitrary code with application privileges. (CVE-2007-4662) It was discovered that certain characters in session cookies were not handled correctly. A remote attacker could injection values which could lead to altered application behavior, potentially gaining additional privileges. (CVE-2007-3799) Gerhard Wagner discovered that the chunk_split function did not correctly handle long strings. A remote attacker could exploit this to execute arbitrary code with application privileges. (CVE-2007-2872, CVE-2007-4660, CVE-2007-4661) Stefan Esser discovered that deeply nested arrays could be made to fill stack space. A remote attacker could exploit this to cause a crash or monopolize CPU resources, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2007-1285, CVE-2007-4670) Rasmus Lerdorf discovered that the htmlentities and htmlspecialchars functions did not correctly stop when handling partial multibyte sequences. A remote attacker could exploit this to read certain areas of memory, possibly gaining access to sensitive information. (CVE-2007-5898) It was discovered that the output_add_rewrite_var fucntion would sometimes leak session id information to forms targeting remote URLs.
