  <title>PHP: Multiple vulnerabilities</title>
  <synopsis>
    Several vulnerabilities were found and fixed in PHP, ranging from an
    information leak and a safe_mode restriction bypass to a potential remote
    execution of arbitrary code.

    <p>
    PHP is a general-purpose scripting language widely used to develop
    web-based applications. It can run inside a web server using the
    mod_php module or the CGI version of PHP, or can run stand-alone in a
    CLI.
    </p>

    <p>
    Stefan Esser and Marcus Boerger reported several different issues in
    the unserialize() function, including serious exploitable bugs in the
    way it handles negative references (CAN-2004-1019).
    </p>
    <p>
    Stefan Esser also discovered that the pack() and unpack() functions are
    subject to integer overflows that can lead to a heap buffer overflow
    and a heap information leak. Finally, he found that the way
    multithreaded PHP handles safe_mode_exec_dir restrictions can be
    bypassed, and that various path truncation issues also allow to bypass
    path and safe_mode restrictions.
    </p>
    <p>
    Ilia Alshanetsky found a stack overflow issue in the exif_read_data()
    function (CAN-2004-1065). Finally, Daniel Fabian found that addslashes
    and magic_quotes_gpc do not properly escape null characters and that
    magic_quotes_gpc contains a bug that could lead to one level directory
    traversal.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="high">
    <p>
    These issues could be exploited by a remote attacker to retrieve web
    server heap information, bypass safe_mode or path restrictions and
    potentially execute arbitrary code with the rights of the web server
    running a PHP application.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All PHP users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=dev-php/php-4.3.10"</code>
    <p>
    All mod_php users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=dev-php/mod_php-4.3.10"</code>
    <p>
    All php-cgi users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=dev-php/php-cgi-4.3.10"</code>
  </resolution>
