Detail

Several security related problems have been found in PHP4, the server-side, HTML-embedded scripting language. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems:

CAN-2005-1751

Eric Romang discovered insecure temporary files in the shtool utility shipped with PHP that can exploited by a local attacker to overwrite arbitrary files. Only this vulnerability affects packages in oldstable.

CAN-2005-1921

GulfTech has discovered that PEAR XML_RPC is vulnerable to a remote PHP code execution vulnerability that may allow an attacker to compromise a vulnerable server.

CAN-2005-2498

Stefan Esser discovered another vulnerability in the XML-RPC libraries that allows injection of arbitrary PHP code into eval() statements.

For the old stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in version 4.1.2-7.woody5.

For the stable distribution (sarge) these problems have been fixed in version 4.3.10-16.

For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in version 4.4.0-2.

We recommend that you upgrade your PHP packages.

Id Description
18889 XML-RPC for PHP (PHPXMLRPC) Nested XML Tags Arbitrary PHP Code Execution

XML-RPC for PHP (PHPXMLRPC) contains a flaw that may allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary PHP code. The problem is that the library does not properly sanitizing certain XML tags that are nested in a parsed PHP document before being used in an 'eval()' call, which may allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary PHP code resulting in a loss of integrity.
17793 XML-RPC for PHP (PHPXMLRPC) parseRequest() Function Arbitrary PHP Code Execution

XML-RPC for PHP (PHPXMLRPC) contains a flaw that may allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary PHP code. The issue is due to the 'parseRequest()' function not properly sanitizing user-supplied input. By creating an XML file that uses single quotes to escape into the 'eval()' call, a remote attacker can execute arbitrary PHP code resulting in a loss of integrity.
16848 shtool Symlink Arbitrary File Manipulation

shtool contains a flaw that may allow a malicious local user to overwrite or create arbitrary files on the system. The issue is due to the script creating temporary files insecurely. It is possible for a user to use a symlink style attack to manipulate arbitrary files, resulting in a loss of integrity.
