Detail

Problem Description:

Updated php packages that fix various security issues are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1.

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS (Advanced Server) version 2.1 - i386, ia64 Red Hat Linux Advanced Workstation 2.1 - ia64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES version 2.1 - i386 Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS version 2.1 - i386

3. Problem description:

PHP is an HTML-embedded scripting language commonly used with the Apache HTTP Web server.

A double-free bug was found in the deserialization code of PHP. PHP applications use the unserialize function on untrusted user data, which could allow a remote attacker to gain access to memory or potentially execute arbitrary code. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2004-1019 to this issue.

Flaws were found in the pack and unpack PHP functions. These functions do not normally pass user supplied data, so they would require a malicious PHP script to be exploited. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2004-1018 to this issue.

A bug was discovered in the initialization of the OpenSSL library, such that the curl extension could not be used to perform HTTP requests over SSL unless the php-imap package was installed.

Users of PHP should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain fixes for these issues.

4. Solution:

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied. Use Red Hat Network to download and update your packages. To launch the Red Hat Update Agent, use the following command:

up2date

For information on how to install packages manually, refer to the following Web page for the System Administration or Customization guide specific to your system:

http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/

5. Bug IDs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/):

138904 - PHP cURL getting a 'SSL Couldn't create a context error'. 144773 - CAN-2004-1019 information disclosure issues

Title: Multiple integer handling errors in PHP before 4.3.10 allow attackers to bypass safe mode restrictions, cause a denial of service, or execute arbitrary code via (1) a negative offset value to the shmop_write function, (2) an "integer overflow/underflow" in the pack function, or (3) an "integer overflow/underflow" in the unpack function. NOTE: this issue was originally REJECTed by its CNA before publication, but that decision is in active dispute. This candidate may change significantly in the future as a result of further discussion.

Open Source Vulnerability Database (OSVDB)

Id Description
34717 PHP shmop_write() Arbitrary Memory Manipulation

PHP contains a flaw that may allow an attacker to gain elevated privileges. The issue is due to the shmop_write function not properly sanitizing user-supplied input. This may allow an attaker to bypass safe mode restrictions, cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code.
12415 PHP unserialize() Function Negative Reference Arbitrary Code Execution

PHP contains a flaw that may allow a remote attacker to gain elevated privileges. The issue is due to the deserialization code not properly sanitizing user-supplied input. This may allow an attacker to pass crafted content to the unserialize function and cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code.
12411 PHP unpack() Function Heap Information Leak

PHP contains a flaw that may allow a remote attacker to read arbitrary portions of system memory. The issue is due to the unpack() function not properly validating parameters passed to it.
12410 PHP pack() Function Overflow

PHP contains a flaw that may allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code. The issue is due to insufficient validation of parameters passed to the pack() function which may result in a heap overflow. It is possible that the flaw may allow a remote attacker to bypass safe_mode restrictions and execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the Web server resulting in a loss of integrity.
