Title: DSA-1775-1 php-json-ext -- denial of service
Description: It was discovered that php-json-ext, a JSON serialiser for PHP, is prone to a denial of service attack, when receiving a malformed string via the json_decode function. For the oldstable distribution, this problem has been fixed in version 1.2.1-3.2+etch1. The stable distribution does not contain a separate php-json-ext package, but includes it in the php5 packages, which will be fixed soon. The testing distribution and the unstable distribution do not contain a separate php-json-ext package, but include it in the php5 packages. We recommend that you upgrade your php-json-ext packages.

Title: DSA-1789-1 php5 -- several
Description: Several remote vulnerabilities have been discovered in the PHP 5 hypertext preprocessor. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems. The following four vulnerabilities have already been fixed in the stable version of php5 prior to the release of lenny. This update now addresses them for etch aswell: CVE-2008-2107 / CVE-2008-2108 The GENERATE_SEED macro has several problems that make predicting generated random numbers easier, facilitating attacks against measures that use rand or mt_rand as part of a protection. CVE-2008-5557 A buffer overflow in the mbstring extension allows attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted string containing an HTML entity. CVE-2008-5624 The page_uid and page_gid variables are not correctly set, allowing use of some functionality intended to be restricted to root. CVE-2008-5658 Directory traversal vulnerability in the ZipArchive::extractTo function allows attackers to write arbitrary files via a ZIP file with a file whose name contains sequences. This update also addresses the following three vulnerabilities for both oldstable and stable: CVE-2008-5814 Cross-site scripting vulnerability, when display_errors is enabled, allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML. CVE-2009-0754 When running on Apache, PHP allows local users to modify behavior of other sites hosted on the same web server by modifying the mbstring.func_overload setting within .htaccess, which causes this setting to be applied to other virtual hosts on the same server. CVE-2009-1271 the JSON_parser function allows a denial of service via a malformed string to the json_decode API function. Furthermore, two updates originally scheduled for the next point update for oldstable are included in the etch package: * Let PHP use the system timezone database instead of the embedded timezone database which is out of date. * From the source tarball, the unused "dbase" module has been removed which contained licensing problems. For the old stable distribution, these problems have been fixed in version 5.2.0+dfsg-8+etch15. For the stable distribution, these problems have been fixed in version 5.2.6.dfsg.1-1+lenny3. For the unstable distribution, these problems have been fixed in version 5.2.9.dfsg.1-1. We recommend that you upgrade your php5 package.

Title: USN-761-1 -- php5 vulnerabilities
Description: It was discovered that PHP did not sanitize certain error messages when display_errors is enabled, which could result in browsers becoming vulnerable to cross-site scripting attacks when processing the output. With cross-site scripting vulnerabilities, if a user were tricked into viewing server output during a crafted server request, a remote attacker could exploit this to modify the contents, or steal confidential data, within the same domain. It was discovered that PHP did not properly handle the mbstring.func_overload setting within .htaccess files when using virtual hosts. A virtual host administrator could use this flaw to cause settings to be applied to other virtual hosts on the same server. It was discovered that PHP did not properly handle certain malformed strings when being parsed by the json_decode function. A remote attacker could exploit this flaw and cause the PHP server to crash, resulting in a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 8.04 and 8.10
