Summary

Integer overflow in PHP 5.2.5 and earlier allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly have unspecified other impact via a printf format parameter with a large width specifier, related to the php_sprintf_appendstring function in formatted_print.c and probably other functions for formatted strings (aka *printf functions).

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. Malicious remote sites could use this information to gain access to a PHP application user

description	A vulnerability in PHP allowed context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a certain long string in the glob() or fnmatch() functions (CVE-2007-4782). A vulnerability in the cURL library in PHP allowed context-dependent attackers to bypass safe_mode and open_basedir restrictions and read arbitrary files using a special URL request (CVE-2007-4850). An integer overflow in PHP allowed context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of serivce via a special printf() format parameter (CVE-2008-1384). A stack-based buffer overflow in the FastCGI SAPI in PHP has unknown impact and attack vectors (CVE-2008-2050). A buffer overflow in the imageloadfont() function in PHP allowed context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and potentially execute arbitrary code via a crafted font file (CVE-2008-3658). A buffer overflow in the memnstr() function allowed context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and potentially execute arbitrary code via the delimiter argument to the explode() function (CVE-2008-3659). PHP, when used as a FastCGI module, allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a request with multiple dots preceding the extension (CVE-2008-3660). An array index error in the imageRotate() function in PHP allowed context-dependent attackers to read the contents of arbitrary memory locations via a crafted value of the third argument to the function for an indexed image (CVE-2008-5498). The updated packages have been patched to correct these issues.

description	The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200811-05 (PHP: Multiple vulnerabilities) Several vulnerabilitites were found in PHP: PHP ships a vulnerable version of the PCRE library which allows for the circumvention of security restrictions or even for remote code execution in case of an application which accepts user-supplied regular expressions (CVE-2008-0674). 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). Stefan Esser reported that a short-coming in PHP
