Detail

A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:

Ubuntu 5.04 Ubuntu 5.10 Ubuntu 6.06 LTS

This advisory also applies to the corresponding versions of Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and Xubuntu.

The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the following package versions:

Ubuntu 5.04:
libapache2-mod-php4 4:4.3.10-10ubuntu4.7
php4-cgi 4:4.3.10-10ubuntu4.7
php4-cli 4:4.3.10-10ubuntu4.7

Ubuntu 5.10:
libapache2-mod-php5 5.0.5-2ubuntu1.4
php5-cgi 5.0.5-2ubuntu1.4
php5-cli 5.0.5-2ubuntu1.4
php5-curl 5.0.5-2ubuntu1.4

Ubuntu 6.06 LTS:
libapache2-mod-php5 5.1.2-1ubuntu3.2
php5-cgi 5.1.2-1ubuntu3.2
php5-cli 5.1.2-1ubuntu3.2
php5-curl 5.1.2-1ubuntu3.2

In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the necessary changes.

Details follow:

The sscanf() function did not properly check array boundaries. In applications which use sscanf() with argument swapping, a remote attacker could potentially exploit this to crash the affected web application or even execute arbitrary code with the application's privileges. (CVE-2006-4020)

The file_exists() and imap_reopen() functions did not perform proper open_basedir and safe_mode checks which could allow local scripts to bypass intended restrictions. (CVE-2006-4481)

On 64 bit systems the str_repeat() and wordwrap() functions did not properly check buffer boundaries. Depending on the application, this could potentially be exploited to execute arbitrary code with the applications' privileges. This only affects the amd64 and sparc platforms. (CVE-2006-4482)

A buffer overflow was discovered in the LWZReadByte_() function of the GIF image file parser. By tricking a PHP application into processing a specially crafted GIF image, a remote attacker could exploit this to execute arbitrary code with the application's privileges. (CVE-2006-4484)

Id Description
28009 PHP imap_reopen() Function open_basedir/safe_mode Bypass

PHP contains a flaw that may allow an attacker to bypass security restrictions. The issue is due to the imap_reopen() function not properly sanitizing user-supplied input. By using crafted input, an attacker may be able to bypass the safe_mode and open_basedir security restrictions.
28007 PHP file_exists() Function open_basedir/safe_mode Bypass

PHP contains a flaw that may allow an attacker to bypass security restrictions. The issue is due to the file_exists() function not properly sanitizing user-supplied input. By using crafted input, an attacker may be able to bypass the safe_mode and open_basedir security restrictions.
28004 PHP on 64-bit wordwrap() Function Overflow

28003 PHP on 64-bit str_repeat() Function Overflow

28002 PHP GD Extension GIF Processing Overflow

27824 PHP sscanf() Function Argument Swapping Overflow

PHP contains a flaw that may allow a context-dependent attacker to elevate privileges. The issue is due to the sscanf function in scanf.c not properly sanitizing user-supplied input. Passing a crafted string to this function may trigger a buvver over-read allowing the execution of arbitrary code.
