CRLF injection vulnerability in the ftp_putcmd function in PHP before 4.4.7, and 5.x before 5.2.2 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary FTP commands via CRLF sequences in the parameters to earlier FTP commands.

The remote BIG-IP device is missing a patch required by a security advisory.

From Red Hat Security Advisory 2007:0889 :

Updated PHP packages that fix several security issues are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3.

This update has been rated as having moderate security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team.

PHP is an HTML-embedded scripting language commonly used with the Apache HTTP Web server.

These updated packages address the following vulnerabilities :

Various integer overflow flaws were found in the PHP gd extension script that could be forced to resize images from an untrusted source, possibly allowing a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code as the apache user. (CVE-2007-3996)

An integer overflow flaw was found in the PHP chunk_split function. If a remote attacker was able to pass arbitrary data to the third argument of chunk_split they could possibly execute arbitrary code as the apache user. Note that it is unusual for a PHP script to use the chunk_split function with a user-supplied third argument.
(CVE-2007-2872)

A previous security update introduced a bug into PHP session cookie handling. This could allow an attacker to stop a victim from viewing a vulnerable website if the victim has first visited a malicious web page under the control of the attacker, and that page can set a cookie for the vulnerable website. (CVE-2007-4670)

A flaw was found in the PHP money_format function. If a remote attacker was able to pass arbitrary data to the money_format function this could possibly result in an information leak or denial of service. Note that it is unusual for a PHP script to pass user-supplied data to the money_format function. (CVE-2007-4658)

A flaw was found in the PHP wordwrap function. If a remote attacker was able to pass arbitrary data to the wordwrap function this could possibly result in a denial of service. (CVE-2007-3998)

A bug was found in PHP session cookie handling. This could allow an attacker to create a cross-site cookie insertion attack if a victim follows an untrusted carefully-crafted URL. (CVE-2007-3799)

An infinite-loop flaw was discovered in the PHP gd extension. A script that could be forced to process PNG images from an untrusted source could allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.
(CVE-2007-2756)

A flaw was found in the PHP 'ftp' extension. If a PHP script used this extension to provide access to a private FTP server, and passed untrusted script input directly to any function provided by this extension, a remote attacker would be able to send arbitrary FTP commands to the server. (CVE-2007-2509)

Users of PHP should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches to correct these issues.

From Red Hat Security Advisory 2007:0349 :

Updated PHP packages that fix two security issues are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.

This update has been rated as having important security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team.

PHP is an HTML-embedded scripting language commonly used with the Apache HTTP Web server.

A heap buffer overflow flaw was found in the PHP 'xmlrpc' extension. A PHP script which implements an XML-RPC server using this extension could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code as the 'apache' user. Note that this flaw does not affect PHP applications using the pure-PHP XML_RPC class provided in /usr/share/pear.
(CVE-2007-1864)

A flaw was found in the PHP 'ftp' extension. If a PHP script used this extension to provide access to a private FTP server, and passed untrusted script input directly to any function provided by this extension, a remote attacker would be able to send arbitrary FTP commands to the server. (CVE-2007-2509)

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200705-19 (PHP: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Several vulnerabilities were found in PHP, most of them during the     Month Of PHP Bugs (MOPB) by Stefan Esser. The most severe of these     vulnerabilities are integer overflows in wbmp.c from the GD library     (CVE-2007-1001) and in the substr_compare() PHP 5 function     (CVE-2007-1375). Ilia Alshanetsky also reported a buffer overflow in     the make_http_soap_request() and in the user_filter_factory_create()     functions (CVE-2007-2510, CVE-2007-2511), and Stanislav Malyshev     discovered another buffer overflow in the bundled XMLRPC library     (CVE-2007-1864). Additionally, the session_regenerate_id() and the     array_user_key_compare() functions contain a double-free vulnerability     (CVE-2007-1484, CVE-2007-1521). Finally, there exist implementation     errors in the Zend engine, in the mb_parse_str(), the unserialize() and     the mail() functions and other elements.
  Impact :

    Remote attackers might be able to exploit these issues in PHP     applications making use of the affected functions, potentially     resulting in the execution of arbitrary code, Denial of Service,     execution of scripted contents in the context of the affected site,     security bypass or information leak.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

It was discovered that the ftp extension of PHP, a server-side, HTML-embedded scripting language performs insufficient input sanitising, which permits an attacker to execute arbitrary FTP commands. This requires the attacker to already have access to the FTP server.

Several remote vulnerabilities have been discovered in PHP, a server-side, HTML-embedded scripting language, which may lead to the execution of arbitrary code. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems :

  - CVE-2007-2509     It was discovered that missing input sanitising inside     the ftp extension permits an attacker to execute     arbitrary FTP commands. This requires the attacker to     already have access to the FTP server.

  - CVE-2007-2510     It was discovered that a buffer overflow in the SOAP     extension permits the execution of arbitrary code.

The oldstable distribution (sarge) doesn't include php5.

A heap buffer overflow flaw was found in the xmlrpc extension for PHP.
A script that implements an XML-RPC server using this extension could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code as the apache user.
This flaw does not, however, affect PHP applications using the pure-PHP XML_RPC class provided via PEAR (CVE-2007-1864).

A flaw was found in the ftp extension for PHP. A script using this extension to provide access to a private FTP server and which passed untrusted script input directly to any function provided by this extension could allow a remote attacker to send arbitrary FTP commands to the server (CVE-2007-2509).

A buffer overflow flaw was found in the soap extension for PHP in the handling of an HTTP redirect response when using the SOAP client provided by the extension with an untrusted SOAP server (CVE-2007-2510).

A buffer overflow in the user_filter_factory_create() function has unknown impact and local attack vectors (CVE-2007-2511).

Updated packages have been patched to prevent this issue.

The remote host is running a version of PHP lower than 4.4.7 or 5.2.2.  This version is vulnerable to a number of remote issues.  At least one of these issues is related to a buffer overflow attack.  An attacker exploiting these flaws would be able to impact confidentiality, integrity, and availability. 

According to its banner, the version of PHP installed on the remote host is older than 4.4.7 / 5.2.2.  Such versions may be affected by several issues, including buffer overflows in the GD library.
