DSA-789-1 php4 Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment Several security related problems have been found in PHP4, the server-side, HTML-embedded scripting language. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems: Eric Romang discovered insecure temporary files in the shtool utility shipped with PHP that can exploited by a local attacker to overwrite arbitrary files. Only this vulnerability affects packages in oldstable. GulfTech has discovered that PEAR XML_RPC is vulnerable to a remote PHP code execution vulnerability that may permit a possible hacker to compromise a vulnerable server. Stefan Esser discovered another vulnerability in the XML-RPC libraries that permits injection of arbitrary PHP code into eval() statements. For the old stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in version 4.1.2-7.woody5. For the stable distribution (sarge) these problems have been fixed in version 4.3.10-16. For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in version 4.4.0-2. We recommend that you upgrade your PHP packages.
