Summary

The GENERATE_SEED macro in PHP 4.x before 4.4.8 and 5.x before 5.2.5, when running on 32-bit systems, performs a multiplication using values that can produce a zero seed in rare circumstances, which allows context-dependent attackers to predict subsequent values of the rand and mt_rand functions and possibly bypass protection mechanisms that rely on an unknown initial seed.

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	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

description	A number of vulnerabilities have been found and corrected in PHP : 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, the updated packages provide a number of bug fixes. The updated packages have been patched to correct these issues.

description	Several remote vulnerabilities have been discovered in the PHP 5 hypertext preprocessor. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems. The following four vulnerabilities have already been fixed in the stable (lenny) version of php5 prior to the release of lenny. This update now addresses them for etch (oldstable) as well : - CVE-2008-2107 / CVE-2008-2108 The GENERATE_SEED macro has several problems that make predicting generated random numbers easier, facilitating attacks against measures that use rand() or mt_rand() as part of a protection. - CVE-2008-5557 A buffer overflow in the mbstring extension allows attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted string containing an HTML entity. - CVE-2008-5624 The page_uid and page_gid variables are not correctly set, allowing use of some functionality intended to be restricted to root. - CVE-2008-5658 Directory traversal vulnerability in the ZipArchive::extractTo function allows attackers to write arbitrary files via a ZIP file with a file whose name contains .. (dot dot) sequences. This update also addresses the following three vulnerabilities for both oldstable (etch) and stable (lenny) : - CVE-2008-5814 Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability, when display_errors is enabled, allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML. - CVE-2009-0754 When running on Apache, PHP allows local users to modify behavior of other sites hosted on the same web server by modifying the mbstring.func_overload setting within .htaccess, which causes this setting to be applied to other virtual hosts on the same server. - CVE-2009-1271 The JSON_parser function allows a denial of service (segmentation fault) via a malformed string to the json_decode API function. Furthermore, two updates originally scheduled for the next point update for oldstable are included in the etch package : - Let PHP use the system timezone database instead of the embedded timezone database which is out of date. - From the source tarball, the unused

description	A number of vulnerabilities have been found and corrected in PHP : The htmlentities() and htmlspecialchars() functions in PHP prior to 5.2.5 accepted partial multibyte sequences, which has unknown impact and attack vectors (CVE-2007-5898). 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.

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. If a page included an HTML form with an ACTION attribute referencing a non-local URL, the user
