Debian DLA-302-1 : zendframework security update

medium Nessus Plugin ID 85663

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

Dawid Golunski discovered that when running under PHP-FPM in a threaded environment, Zend Framework, a PHP framework, did not properly handle XML data in multibyte encoding. This could be used by remote attackers to perform an XML External Entity attack via crafted XML data.

For Debian 6 'Squeeze', this issue has been fixed in zendframework version 1.10.6-1squeeze5.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Upgrade the affected zendframework, and zendframework-bin packages.
