RHSA-2007:0889 - Security Advisory

  • Overview
  • Updated Packages

Synopsis

Moderate: php security update

Type/Severity

Security Advisory: Moderate

Topic

Updated PHP packages that fix several security issues are now available for
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3.

This update has been rated as having moderate security impact by the Red
Hat Security Response Team.

Description

PHP is an HTML-embedded scripting language commonly used with the Apache
HTTP Web server.

These updated packages address the following vulnerabilities:

Various integer overflow flaws were found in the PHP gd extension script
that could be forced to resize images from an untrusted source, possibly
allowing a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code as the apache
user. (CVE-2007-3996)

An integer overflow flaw was found in the PHP chunk_split function. If a
remote attacker was able to pass arbitrary data to the third argument of
chunk_split they could possibly execute arbitrary code as the apache user.
Note that it is unusual for a PHP script to use the chunk_split function
with a user-supplied third argument. (CVE-2007-2872)

A previous security update introduced a bug into PHP session cookie
handling. This could allow an attacker to stop a victim from viewing a
vulnerable web site if the victim has first visited a malicious web page
under the control of the attacker, and that page can set a cookie for the
vulnerable web site. (CVE-2007-4670)

A flaw was found in the PHP money_format function. If a remote attacker
was able to pass arbitrary data to the money_format function this could
possibly result in an information leak or denial of service. Note that it
is unusual for a PHP script to pass user-supplied data to the money_format
function. (CVE-2007-4658)

A flaw was found in the PHP wordwrap function. If a remote attacker was
able to pass arbitrary data to the wordwrap function this could possibly
result in a denial of service. (CVE-2007-3998)

A bug was found in PHP session cookie handling. This could allow an
attacker to create a cross-site cookie insertion attack if a victim follows
an untrusted carefully-crafted URL. (CVE-2007-3799)

An infinite-loop flaw was discovered in the PHP gd extension. A script
that could be forced to process PNG images from an untrusted source could
allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2007-2756)

A flaw was found in the PHP "ftp" extension. If a PHP script used this
extension to provide access to a private FTP server, and passed untrusted
script input directly to any function provided by this extension, a remote
attacker would be able to send arbitrary FTP commands to the server.
(CVE-2007-2509)

Users of PHP should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain
backported patches to correct these issues.

Solution

errata relevant to your system have been applied.
