Fedora Update Notification
FEDORA-2009-3848
2009-04-21 23:56:05
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : php
Product : Fedora 9
Version : 5.2.9
Release : 2.fc9
URL : http://www.php.net/
Summary : PHP scripting language for creating dynamic web sites
Description :
PHP is an HTML-embedded scripting language. PHP attempts to make it
easy for developers to write dynamically generated webpages. PHP also
offers built-in database integration for several commercial and
non-commercial database management systems, so writing a
database-enabled webpage with PHP is fairly simple. The most common
use of PHP coding is probably as a replacement for CGI scripts.
The php package contains the module which adds support for the PHP
language to Apache HTTP Server.

Update Information:
Update to PHP 5.2.9 A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in PHP's
mbstring extension. A remote attacker able to pass arbitrary input to a PHP
script using mbstring conversion functions could cause the PHP interpreter to
crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2008-5557) A directory
traversal flaw was found in PHP's ZipArchive::extractTo function. If PHP is used
to extract a malicious ZIP archive, it could allow an attacker to write
arbitrary files anywhere the PHP process has write permissions. (CVE-2008-5658)
A buffer overflow flaw was found in PHP's imageloadfont function. If a PHP
script allowed a remote attacker to load a carefully crafted font file, it could
cause the PHP interpreter to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code.
(CVE-2008-3658) A memory disclosure flaw was found in the PHP gd extension's
imagerotate function. A remote attacker able to pass arbitrary values as the
"background color" argument of the function could, possibly, view portions of
the PHP interpreter's memory. (CVE-2008-5498) A cross-site scripting flaw was
found in a way PHP reported errors for invalid cookies. If the PHP interpreter
had "display_errors" enabled, a remote attacker able to set a specially-crafted
cookie on a victim's system could possibly inject arbitrary HTML into an error
message generated by PHP. (CVE-2008-5814) A flaw was found in the handling of
the "mbstring.func_overload" configuration setting. A value set for one virtual
host, or in a user's .htaccess file, was incorrectly applied to other virtual
hosts on the same server, causing the handling of multibyte character strings to
not work correctly. (CVE-2009-0754) A flaw was found in PHP's json_decode
function. A remote attacker could use this flaw to create a specially-crafted
string which could cause the PHP interpreter to crash while being decoded in a
PHP script. (CVE-2009-1271) A flaw was found in the use of the uw-imap
library by the PHP "imap" extension. This could cause the PHP interpreter to
crash if the "imap" extension was used to read specially-crafted mail messages
with long headers. (CVE-2008-2829) http://www.php.net/releases/5_2_7.php
