Package: php5 Version: 5.2.6-3 Severity: important Tags: patch -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1
via http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-3659: Buffer overflow in the memnstr function in PHP 4.4.x before 4.4.9 and PHP 5.6 through 5.2.6 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via the delimiter argument to the explode function. NOTE: the scope of this issue is limited since most applications would not use an attacker-controlled delimiter, but local attacks against safe_mode are feasible. while the attack vector may be somewhat limited, apparently this vector is actually used in practice by a number of apps, so we should include the patch (well we in fact have already incorporated it into the svn repo, but it has not yet been released): http://cvs.php.net/viewvc.cgi/ZendEngine2/zend_operators.h?r1=1.94.2.4.2.11&r2=1.94.2.4.2.12&view=patch sean - -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages php5 depends on: ii libapache2-mod-php5 5.2.6-3 server-side, HTML-embedded scripti ii php5-cgi 5.2.6-3 server-side, HTML-embedded scripti ii php5-common 5.2.6-3 Common files for packages built fr php5 recommends no packages. php5 suggests no packages. - -- no debconf information -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFI2eAtynjLPm522B0RAon9AJ9BaYTEx909jJMUGrl8RS1YxjxUkgCfbdfH RHer27eJlWdu5BMJCLTzEUw= =facc -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
