Synopsis |
16 |
======== |
17 |
|
18 |
PHP suffers from multiple issues, resulting in security functions |
19 |
bypass, local Denial of service, cross-site scripting or PHP variables |
20 |
overwrite. |
21 |
|
22 |
Background |
23 |
========== |
24 |
|
25 |
PHP is a general-purpose scripting language widely used to develop |
26 |
web-based applications. It can run inside a web server using the |
27 |
mod_php module or the CGI version and also stand-alone in a CLI. |

Description |
46 |
=========== |
47 |
|
48 |
Multiple vulnerabilities have been found and fixed in PHP: |
49 |
|
50 |
* a possible $GLOBALS variable overwrite problem through file upload |
51 |
handling, extract() and import_request_variables() (CVE-2005-3390) |
52 |
|
53 |
* a local Denial of Service through the use of the session.save_path |
54 |
option (CVE-2005-3319) |
55 |
|
56 |
* an issue with trailing slashes in allowed basedirs (CVE-2005-3054) |
57 |
|
58 |
* an issue with calling virtual() on Apache 2, allowing to bypass |
59 |
safe_mode and open_basedir restrictions (CVE-2005-3392) |
60 |
|
61 |
* a problem when a request was terminated due to memory_limit |
62 |
constraints during certain parse_str() calls (CVE-2005-3389) |
63 |
|
64 |
* The curl and gd modules allowed to bypass the safe mode |
65 |
open_basedir restrictions (CVE-2005-3391) |
66 |
|
67 |
* a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in phpinfo() |
68 |
(CVE-2005-3388) |
69 |
|
70 |
Impact |
71 |
====== |
72 |
|
73 |
Attackers could leverage these issues to exploit applications that are |
74 |
assumed to be secure through the use of proper register_globals, |
75 |
safe_mode or open_basedir parameters. Remote attackers could also |
76 |
conduct cross-site scripting attacks if a page calling phpinfo() was |
77 |
available. Finally, a local attacker could cause a local Denial of |
78 |
Service using malicious session.save_path options. |
79 |
|
80 |
Workaround |
81 |
========== |
82 |
|
83 |
There is no known workaround that would solve all issues at this time. |
84 |
|
85 |
Resolution |
86 |
========== |
87 |
|
88 |
All PHP users should upgrade to the latest version: |
89 |
|
90 |
# emerge --sync |
91 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose dev-php/php |
92 |
|
93 |
All mod_php users should upgrade to the latest version: |
94 |
|
95 |
# emerge --sync |
96 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose dev-php/mod_php |
97 |
|
98 |
All php-cgi users should upgrade to the latest version: |
99 |
|
100 |
# emerge --sync |
101 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose dev-php/php-cgi |
102 |
