Detail

Problem Description:

Updated PHP packages that fix a security issue are now available.

This update has been rated as having important security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team.

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS version 3 - i386, ia64, ppc, s390, s390x, x86_64 Red Hat Desktop version 3 - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES version 3 - i386, ia64, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS version 3 - i386, ia64, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS version 4 - i386, ia64, ppc, s390, s390x, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop version 4 - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES version 4 - i386, ia64, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS version 4 - i386, ia64, x86_64

3. Problem description:

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

A bug was discovered in the PEAR XML-RPC Server package included in PHP. If a PHP script is used which implements an XML-RPC Server using the PEAR XML-RPC package, then it is possible for a remote attacker to construct an XML-RPC request which can cause PHP to execute arbitrary PHP commands as the 'apache' user. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2005-2498 to this issue.

When using the default SELinux "targeted" policy on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4, the impact of this issue is reduced since the scripts executed by PHP are constrained within the httpd_sys_script_t security context.

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

4. Solution:

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via Red Hat Network. To use Red Hat Network, launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command:

up2date

This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate RPMs being upgraded on your system.

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.
