HIGH Summary
The GENERATE_SEED macro in PHP 4.x before 4.4.8 and 5.x before 5.2.5, when running on 64-bit systems, performs a multiplication that generates a portion of zero bits during conversion due to insufficient precision, which produces 24 bits of entropy and simplifies brute force attacks against protection mechanisms that use the rand and mt_rand functions.

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).

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 Red Hat Local Security Checks NASL id REDHAT-RHSA-2008-0545.NASL description Updated php packages that fix several security issues and a bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.

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 last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 38691 published 2009-05-06 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2009-2019 and is owned by Tenable, Inc. or an Affiliate thereof. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/38691 title Debian DSA-1789-1 : php5 - several vulnerabilities NASL family Red Hat Local Security Checks NASL id REDHAT-RHSA-2008-0544.NASL description Updated PHP packages that fix several security issues are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 and 5.
