Detail

An iDEFENSE researcher discovered two problems in the image processing functions of PHP, a server-side, HTML-embedded scripting language, of which one is present in woody as well. When reading a JPEG image, PHP can be tricked into an endless loop due to insufficient input validation.

For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 4.1.2-7.woody4.

For the testing distribution (sarge) these problems have been fixed in version 4.3.10-10.

For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in version 4.3.10-10.

We recommend that you upgrade your php4 packages.

Id Description
15184 PHP image.c php_next_marker Function JPEG Processing DoS

PHP contains a flaw that may allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service. The issue is due to the php_next_marker function in image.c, as reachable by the getimagesize PHP function, not properly sanitizing user-supplied input. By supplying a negative length value to the php_stream_seek, an attacker can cause an infinite loop and exhaust system resources.
