openSUSE Security Update : apache2-mod_php5 (openSUSE-SU-2011:1137-1)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 75433

Synopsis

The remote openSUSE host is missing a security update.

Description

The blowfish password hashing implementation did not properly handle 8-characters in passwords, which made it easier for attackers to crack the hash (CVE-2011-2483). After this update existing hashes with id '$2a$' for passwords that contain 8-bit characters will no longer be compatible with newly generated hashes. Affected users will either have to change their password to store a new hash or the id of the existing hash has to be manually changed to '$2x$' in order to activate a compat mode. Please see the description of the CVE-2011-2483 glibc update for details.

File uploads could potentially overwrite files owned by the user running php (CVE-2011-2202).

A long salt argument to the crypt function could cause a buffer overflow (CVE-2011-3268)

Solution

Update the affected apache2-mod_php5 packages.
