Vulnerable Configurations
Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)
Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)
- Overflow Buffers Buffer Overflow attacks target improper or missing bounds checking on buffer operations, typically triggered by input injected by an attacker. As a consequence, an attacker is able to write past the boundaries of allocated buffer regions in memory, causing a program crash or potentially redirection of execution as per the attackers' choice.
- Buffer Overflow via Parameter Expansion In this attack, the target software is given input that the attacker knows will be modified and expanded in size during processing. This attack relies on the target software failing to anticipate that the expanded data may exceed some internal limit, thereby creating a buffer overflow.

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.

Multiple crash issues in several PHP functions have been discovered. Ryan Permeh reported that the init_request_info() function in sapi/cgi/cgi_main.c does not properly consider operator precedence when calculating the length of PATH_TRANSLATED (CVE-2008-0599). An off-by-one error in the metaphone() function may lead to memory corruption. Maksymilian Arciemowicz of SecurityReason Research reported an integer overflow, which is triggerable using printf() and related functions (CVE-2008-1384). Andrei Nigmatulin reported a stack-based buffer overflow in the FastCGI SAPI, which has unknown attack vectors (CVE-2008-2050). Stefan Esser reported that PHP does not correctly handle multibyte characters inside the escapeshellcmd() function, which is used to sanitize user input before its usage in shell commands (CVE-2008-2051).

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, the updated packages provide a number of bug fixes. The updated packages have been patched to correct these issues. last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 36486 published 2009-04-23 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2009-2019 Tenable Network Security, Inc. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/36486 title Mandriva Linux Security Advisory : php (MDVSA-2008:128) NASL family Slackware Local Security Checks NASL id SLACKWARE_SSA_2008-128-01.NASL description New php packages are available for Slackware 10.2, 11.0, 12.0, 12.1, and -current to fix security issues.
