Detail

The transparent session ID feature in the php4 package does not properly escape user-supplied input before inserting it into the generated HTML page. An attacker could use this vulnerability to execute embedded scripts within the context of the generated page.

For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 4:4.1.2-6woody3.

For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem will be fixed soon. Refer to Debian bug #200736.

We recommend that you update your php4 package.

Open Source Vulnerability Database (OSVDB)

Id Description
4758 PHP session.use_trans_sid PHPSESSID Parameter XSS

PHP contains a flaw that allows a remote cross site scripting attack. This flaw exists because the application does not validate PHPSESSID variables upon submission to the index.php script. This could allow a user to create a specially crafted URL that would execute arbitrary code in a user's browser within the trust relationship between the browser and the server, leading to a loss of integrity.
