Vulnerability Assessment Details

MDKSA-2005:152: php
Vulnerability Assessment Summary
Check for the version of the php package

Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment

The remote host is missing the patch for the advisory MDKSA-2005:152 (php).



Integer overflow in pcre_compile.c in Perl Compatible Regular Expressions
(PCRE) before 6.2, as used in multiple products, permits attackers to execute
arbitrary code via quantifier values in regular expressions, which leads to a
heap-based buffer overflow.

The php packages, as shipped, were built using a private copy of pcre.

The updated packages have been rebuilt against the system pcre libs to correct
this problem.
