Mandrake Linux Security Advisory : php (MDKSA-2007:038)

high Nessus Plugin ID 24651

Synopsis

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

Description

PHP 5.2.0 and 4.4 allows local users to bypass safe_mode and open_basedir restrictions via a malicious path and a null byte before a ';' in a session_save_path argument, followed by an allowed path, which causes a parsing inconsistency in which PHP validates the allowed path but sets session.save_path to the malicious path.
(CVE-2006-6383)

Buffer overflow in the gdImageStringFTEx function in gdft.c in GD Graphics Library 2.0.33 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted string with a JIS encoded font. PHP uses an embedded copy of GD and may be susceptible to the same issue.
(CVE-2007-0455)

Updated packages have been patched to correct these issues. Users must restart Apache for the changes to take effect.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
