From: Operating system: all PHP version: 5.3.3 Package: Streams related Bug Type: Bug Bug description:ini variable user_agent allows arbitrary injection
Description: ------------ The php.ini variable user_agent is not properly sanitized. This allows arbitrary header injection for any HTTP(S) request made using the http stream wrapper (see code). This bug has grown a feature, but now using stream_context_set_option this behaviour should be deprecated. Test script: --------------- <?php // before, insecure: ini_set('user_agent', "PHP\r\nX-MyCustomHeader: Foo"); $f=file_get_contents('http://www.example.com/index.php'); // now, proper way of adding headers: $s=stream_context_create(); stream_context_set_option($s,"http","header","X-MyCustomHeader: Foo"); ini_set('user_agent', "PHPX-MyCustomHeader: Foo"); $f=file_get_contents('http://www.example.com/index.php',false,$s); ?> -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=52979&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52979&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52979&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52979&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52979&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52979&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52979&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52979&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52979&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52979&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52979&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52979&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52979&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52979&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52979&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52979&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52979&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52979&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52979&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52979&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52979&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52979&r=mysqlcfg
