Detail

Problem Description:

Updated PHP packages that fix an integer overflow flaw are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1.

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 (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.

An integer overflow was discovered in the PHP memory handling routines. If a script can cause memory allocation based on untrusted user data, a remote attacker sending a carefully crafted request could execute arbitrary code as the 'apache' user. (CVE-2006-4812)

This issue did not affect the PHP packages distributed with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 or 4.

Users of PHP should upgrade to these updated packages which contain a backported patch that corrects this issue.

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:

Open Source Vulnerability Database (OSVDB)

Id Description
29510 PHP unserialize() Function Array Handling Overflow

PHP contains a flaw that may allow a remote attacker to elevate privileges. The issue is due to the unserialize PHP function not properly sanitizing user-supplied input. By passing a large value for the number of array elements, an attacker can trigger an integer overflow in the Zend Engine ecalloc function. This may allow the execution of arbitrary code.
