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 4:4.3.8-3ubuntu7.6. In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the necessary changes.

Details follow:

USN-99-1 fixed a safe mode bypass which allowed malicious PHP scripts to circumvent path restrictions by creating a specially crafted directory whose length exceeded the capacity of the realpath() function (CAN-2004-1064). However, this caused severe regressions, some applications like SquirrelMail and Gallery did not work any more, and the package 'php4-pear' was empty. The current version repairs this.

In addition this update fixes a crash of the PHP interpreter if curl_init() was called with a non-string argument. Please note that this is not security relevant since this condition usually cannot be triggered externally.
