Detail

Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in PHP version 4, a server-side, HTML-embedded scripting language. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems:

CVE-2007-3799

The session_start function allows remote attackers to insert arbitrary attributes into the session cookie via special characters in a cookie that is obtained from various parameters.

CVE-2007-3806

A denial of service was possible through a malicious script abusing the glob() function.

CVE-2007-3998

Certain maliciously constructed input to the wordwrap() function could lead to a denial of service attack.

CVE-2007-4657

Large len values of the stspn() or strcspn() functions could allow an attacker to trigger integer overflows to expose memory or cause denial of service.

CVE-2008-2051

The escapeshellcmd API function could be attacked via incomplete multibyte chars.

For the stable distribution (etch), these problems have been fixed in version 6:4.4.4-8+etch6.

The php4 are no longer present the unstable distribution (sid).

We recommend that you upgrade your php4 package.

Description: Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in PHP, a server-side, HTML-embedded scripting language. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems: The glob function allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via an invalid value of the flags parameter. Integer overflow allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly have other impact via a printf format parameter with a large width specifier. Stack-based buffer overflow in the FastCGI SAPI. The escapeshellcmd API function could be attacked via incomplete multibyte chars.
