Mandriva Linux Security Advisory : php (MDVSA-2009:303)

high Nessus Plugin ID 48159

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Mandriva Linux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

Some vulnerabilities were discovered and corrected in php-5.2.11 :

The tempnam function in ext/standard/file.c in PHP 5.2.11 and earlier, and 5.3.x before 5.3.1, allows context-dependent attackers to bypass safe_mode restrictions, and create files in group-writable or world-writable directories, via the dir and prefix arguments (CVE-2009-3557).

The posix_mkfifo function in ext/posix/posix.c in PHP 5.2.11 and earlier, and 5.3.x before 5.3.1, allows context-dependent attackers to bypass open_basedir restrictions, and create FIFO files, via the pathname and mode arguments, as demonstrated by creating a .htaccess file (CVE-2009-3558).

PHP 5.2.11, and 5.3.x before 5.3.1, does not restrict the number of temporary files created when handling a multipart/form-data POST request, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (resource exhaustion), and makes it easier for remote attackers to exploit local file inclusion vulnerabilities, via multiple requests, related to lack of support for the max_file_uploads directive (CVE-2009-4017).

The proc_open function in ext/standard/proc_open.c in PHP before 5.2.11 and 5.3.x before 5.3.1 does not enforce the (1) safe_mode_allowed_env_vars and (2) safe_mode_protected_env_vars directives, which allows context-dependent attackers to execute programs with an arbitrary environment via the env parameter, as demonstrated by a crafted value of the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable (CVE-2009-4018).

Intermittent segfaults occured on x86_64 with the latest phpmyadmin and with apache (#53735).

Additionally, some packages which require so, have been rebuilt and are being provided as updates.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
