MDKSA-2007:048: 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-2007:048 (php). A number of vulnerabilities were discovered in PHP language. Many buffer overflow flaws were discovered in the PHP session extension, the str_replace() function, and the imap_mail_compose() function. A possible hacker able to use a PHP application using any of these functions could trigger these flaws and possibly execute arbitrary code as the apache user (CVE-2007-0906). A one-byte memory read will always occur prior to the beginning of a buffer, which could be triggered, for example, by any use of the header() function in a script (CVE-2007-0907). The wddx extension, if used to import WDDX data from an untrusted source, may permit a random portion of heap memory to be exposed due to certain WDDX input packets (CVE-2007-0908). The odbc_result_all() function, if used to display data from a database, and if the contents of the database are under the control of an attacker, could lead to the execution of arbitrary code due to a format string vulnerability (CVE-2007-0909). Several flaws in the PHP could permit attackers to clobber certain super-global variables via unspecified vectors (CVE-2007-0910). The zend_hash_init() function can be forced into an infinite loop if unserializing untrusted data on a 64-bit platform, resulting in the consumption of CPU resources until the script timeout alarm aborts the execution of the script (CVE-2007-0988). Updated package have been patched to correct this issue.
