Detail
| A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases: Ubuntu 4.10 (Warty Warthog) The following packages are affected: libapache2-mod-php4 php4-cgi The problem can be corrected by upgrading the affected package to version 4:4.3.8-3ubuntu7.5. In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the necessary changes. Details follow: Stefano Di Paola discovered integer overflows in PHP's pack() and unpack() functions. A malicious PHP script could exploit these to break out of safe mode and execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the PHP interpreter. (CAN-2004-1018) Note: The second part of CAN-2004-1018 (buffer overflow in the shmop_write() function) was already fixed in USN-66-1. Stefan Esser discovered two safe mode bypasses which allowed malicious PHP scripts to circumvent path restrictions. This was possible by either using virtual_popen() with a current directory containing shell metacharacters (CAN-2004-1063) or creating a specially crafted directory whose length exceeded the capacity of the realpath() function (CAN-2004-1064). |

| 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. | ||

| 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. |
| 12413 | PHP realpath() Truncation Arbitrary File Inclusion PHP contains a flaw that may allow an attacker to bypass security restrictions. The issue is due to PHP truncating the file path before passing it to the realpath function. This may allow an attacker to bypass safe mode restrictions. |
| 12412 | PHP Multithreaded safe_mode_exec_dir Restriction Bypass PHP contains a flaw related to the safe_mode functionality that may allow a local attacker to execute arbitrary commands. The issue is due to PHP prepending the current directory to the constructed path for any command executed on a multithreaded web server. With the additional path, an attacker can bypass the safe_mode_exec_dir restriction and inject shell commands into the current directory name. |
| 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. |
