MiracleLinux 4 : php-5.3.3-3.AXS4.5 (AXSA:2012-30:01)
critical Nessus Plugin ID 283906
Synopsis
The remote MiracleLinux host is missing one or more security updates.Description
The remote MiracleLinux 4 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the AXSA:2012-30:01 advisory.PHP is an HTML-embedded scripting language. PHP attempts to make it easy for developers to write dynamically generated webpages. PHP also offers built-in database integration for several commercial and non-commercial database management systems, so writing a database-enabled webpage with PHP is fairly simple. The most common use of PHP coding is probably as a replacement for CGI scripts. The mod_php module enables the Apache Web server to understand and process the embedded PHP language in Web pages.
Security issues fixed with this release:
CVE-2011-4566 Integer overflow in the exif_process_IFD_TAG function in exif.c in the exif extension in PHP 5.4.0beta2 on 32-bit platforms allows remote attackers to read the contents of arbitrary memory locations or cause a denial of service via a crafted offset_val value in an EXIF header in a JPEG file, a different vulnerability than CVE-2011-0708.
CVE-2011-4885 PHP before 5.3.9 computes hash values for form parameters without restricting the ability to trigger hash collisions predictably, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) by sending many crafted parameters.
CVE-2011-0708 exif.c in the Exif extension in PHP before 5.3.6 on 64-bit platforms performs an incorrect cast, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via an image with a crafted Image File Directory (IFD) that triggers a buffer over-read.
CVE-2011-1148 Use-after-free vulnerability in the substr_replace function in PHP 5.3.6 and earlier allows context- dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) or possibly have unspecified other impact by using the same variable for multiple arguments.
CVE-2011-1466 Integer overflow in the SdnToJulian function in the Calendar extension in PHP before 5.3.6 allows context- dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a large integer in the first argument to the cal_from_jd function.
CVE-2011-1468 Multiple memory leaks in the OpenSSL extension in PHP before 5.3.6 might allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via (1) plaintext data to the openssl_encrypt function or (2) ciphertext data to the openssl_decrypt function.
CVE-2011-1469 Unspecified vulnerability in the Streams component in PHP before 5.3.6 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) by accessing an ftp:// URL during use of an HTTP proxy with the FTP wrapper.
CVE-2011-1471 Integer signedness error in zip_stream.c in the Zip extension in PHP before 5.3.6 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via a malformed archive file that triggers errors in zip_fread function calls.
CVE-2011-1938 Stack-based buffer overflow in the socket_connect function in ext/sockets/sockets.c in PHP 5.3.3 through 5.3.6 might allow context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long pathname for a UNIX socket.
CVE-2011-2202 The rfc1867_post_handler function in main/rfc1867.c in PHP before 5.3.7 does not properly restrict filenames in multipart/form-data POST requests, which allows remote attackers to conduct absolute path traversal attacks, and possibly create or overwrite arbitrary files, via a crafted upload request, related to a file path injection vulnerability.
CVE-2011-2483 crypt_blowfish before 1.1, as used in PHP before 5.3.7 on certain platforms, PostgreSQL before 8.4.9, and other products, does not properly handle 8-bit characters, which makes it easier for context-dependent attackers to determine a cleartext password by leveraging knowledge of a password hash.
Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the MiracleLinux security advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
