Synopsis |
16 |
======== |
17 |
|
18 |
PHP includes an XML-RPC implementation which allows remote attackers to |
19 |
execute arbitrary PHP script commands. |
20 |
|
21 |
Background |
22 |
========== |
23 |
|
24 |
PHP is a general-purpose scripting language widely used to develop |
25 |
web-based applications. It can run inside a web server using the |
26 |
mod_php module or the CGI version of PHP, or can run stand-alone in a |
27 |
CLI. |
28 |
|
29 |
Affected packages |
30 |
================= |
31 |
|
32 |
------------------------------------------------------------------- |
33 |
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected |
34 |
------------------------------------------------------------------- |
35 |
1 dev-php/php < 4.4.0 >= 4.4.0 |

Description |
38 |
=========== |
39 |
|
40 |
James Bercegay has discovered that the XML-RPC implementation in PHP |
41 |
fails to sanitize input passed in an XML document, which is used in an |
42 |
"eval()" statement. |
43 |
|
44 |
Impact |
45 |
====== |
46 |
|
47 |
A remote attacker could exploit the XML-RPC vulnerability to execute |
48 |
arbitrary PHP script code by sending specially crafted XML data to |
49 |
applications making use of this XML-RPC implementation. |
50 |
|
51 |
Workaround |
52 |
========== |
53 |
|
54 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
55 |
|
56 |
Resolution |
57 |
========== |
58 |
|
59 |
All PHP users should upgrade to the latest version: |
60 |
|
61 |
# emerge --sync |
62 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-php/php-4.4.0" |
63 |
