Unspecified vulnerabilities in PHP, probably before 5.2.0, allow local users to bypass open_basedir restrictions and perform unspecified actions via unspecified vectors involving the (1) chdir and (2) tempnam functions. NOTE: the tempnam vector might overlap CVE-2006-1494.

 According to its banner, the version of PHP 5.x installed on the remote host is older than 5.2.0.  Such versions may be affected by several buffer overflows To exploit these issues, an attacker would need the ability to upload an arbitrary PHP script to the remote server, or to be able to manipulate several variables processed by some PHP functions such as htmlentities(). 

According to its banner, the version of PHP 5.x installed on the remote host is older than 5.2.  Such versions may be affected by several buffer overflows. 

To exploit these issues, an attacker would need the ability to upload an arbitrary PHP script on the remote server or to manipulate several variables processed by some PHP functions such as 'htmlentities().'

The Hardened-PHP Project discovered buffer overflows in htmlentities/htmlspecialchars internal routines to the PHP Project.
The purpose of these functions is to be filled with user input. (The overflow can only be when UTF-8 is used) (CVE-2006-5465)

Updated packages have been patched to correct these issues. Users must restart Apache for the changes to take effect.
