Integer overflow in the exif_process_IFD_TAG function in exif.c in the exif extension in PHP 5.4.0beta2 on 32-bit platforms allows remote attackers to read the contents of arbitrary memory locations or cause a denial of service via a crafted offset_val value in an EXIF header in a JPEG file, a different vulnerability than CVE-2011-0708.

PHP has been cited with the following multiple vulnerabilities, which may be locally exploitable on some F5 products :

CVE-2006-7243 PHP before 5.3.4 accepts the \0 character in a pathname, which might allow context-dependent attackers to bypass intended access restrictions by placing a safe file extension after this character, as demonstrated by .php\0.jpg at the end of the argument to the file_exists function.

CVE-2007-3799 The session_start function in ext/session in PHP 4.x up to 4.4.7 and 5.x up to 5.2.3 allows remote attackers to insert arbitrary attributes into the session cookie via special characters in a cookie that is obtained from (1) PATH_INFO, (2) the session_id function, and (3) the session_start function, which are not encoded or filtered when the new session cookie is generated, a related issue to CVE-2006-0207.

CVE-2010-3710 Stack consumption vulnerability in the filter_var function in PHP 5.2.x through 5.2.14 and 5.3.x through 5.3.3, when FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL mode is used, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption and application crash) via a long e-mail address string.

CVE-2010-3870 The utf8_decode function in PHP before 5.3.4 does not properly handle non-shortest form UTF-8 encoding and ill-formed subsequences in UTF-8 data, which makes it easier for remote attackers to bypass cross-site scripting (XSS) and SQL injection protection mechanisms via a crafted string.

CVE-2010-4697 Use-after-free vulnerability in the Zend engine in PHP before 5.2.15 and 5.3.x before 5.3.4 might allow context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (heap memory corruption) or have unspecified other impact via vectors related to use of __set,
__get, __isset, and __unset methods on objects accessed by a reference.

CVE-2011-1470 The Zip extension in PHP before 5.3.6 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a ziparchive stream that is not properly handled by the stream_get_contents function.

CVE-2011-3182 PHP before 5.3.7 does not properly check the return values of the malloc, calloc, and realloc library functions, which allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and application crash) or trigger a buffer overflow by leveraging the ability to provide an arbitrary value for a function argument, related to (1) ext/curl/interface.c, (2) ext/date/lib/parse_date.c, (3) ext/date/lib/parse_iso_intervals.c, (4) ext/date/lib/parse_tz.c, (5) ext/date/lib/timelib.c, (6) ext/pdo_odbc/pdo_odbc.c, (7) ext/reflection/php_reflection.c, (8) ext/soap/php_sdl.c, (9) ext/xmlrpc/libxmlrpc/base64.c, (10) TSRM/tsrm_win32.c, and (11) the strtotime function.

CVE-2011-3267 PHP before 5.3.7 does not properly implement the error_log function, which allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via unspecified vectors.

CVE-2011-3268 Buffer overflow in the crypt function in PHP before 5.3.7 allows context-dependent attackers to have an unspecified impact via a long salt argument, a different vulnerability than CVE-2011-2483.

CVE-2011-4566 Integer overflow in the exif_process_IFD_TAG function in exif.c in the exif extension in PHP 5.4.0beta2 on 32-bit platforms allows remote attackers to read the contents of arbitrary memory locations or cause a denial of service via a crafted offset_val value in an EXIF header in a JPEG file, a different vulnerability than CVE-2011-0708.

CVE-2012-0830 The php_register_variable_ex function in php_variables.c in PHP 5.3.9 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a request containing a large number of variables, related to improper handling of array variables. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incorrect fix for CVE-2011-4885.

It was found that the hashing routine used by PHP arrays was susceptible to predictable hash collisions. If an HTTP POST request to a PHP application contained many parameters whose names map to the same hash value, a large amount of CPU time would be consumed. This flaw has been mitigated by adding a new configuration directive, max_input_vars, that limits the maximum number of parameters processed per request. By default, max_input_vars is set to 1000.
(CVE-2011-4885)

An integer overflow flaw was found in the PHP exif extension. On 32-bit systems, a specially crafted image file could cause the PHP interpreter to crash or disclose portions of its memory when a PHP script tries to extract Exchangeable image file format (Exif) metadata from the image file. (CVE-2011-4566)

Note that this update addresses the recent FileVault password vulnerability, in which user passwords are stored in plaintext to a system-wide debug log if the legacy version of FileVault is used to encrypt user directories after a system upgrade to Lion. Since the patch only limits further exposure, though, we recommend that all users on the system change their passwords if user folders were encrypted using the legacy version of FileVault prior to and after an upgrade to OS X 10.7.

This update of php5 fixes multiple security flaws :

  - A php5 upload filename injection was fixed.
    (CVE-2011-2202)

  - A integer overflow in the EXIF extension was fixed that     could be used by attackers to crash the interpreter or     potentially read memory. (CVE-2011-4566)

  - Multiple NULL pointer dereferences were fixed that could     lead to crashes. (CVE-2011-3182)

  - An integer overflow in the PHP calendar extension was     fixed that could have led to crashes. (CVE-2011-1466)

  - A symlink vulnerability in the PEAR installer could be     exploited by local attackers to inject code.
    (CVE-2011-1072)

  - missing checks of return values could allow remote     attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer     dereference). (CVE-2011-4153)

  - denial of service via hash collisions. (CVE-2011-4885)

  - specially crafted XSLT stylesheets could allow remote     attackers to create arbitrary files with arbitrary     content. (CVE-2012-0057)

  - remote attackers can cause a denial of service via     specially crafted input to an application that attempts     to perform Tidy::diagnose operations. (CVE-2012-0781)

  - applications that use a PDO driver were prone to denial     of service flaws which could be exploited remotely.
    (CVE-2012-0788)

  - memory leak in the timezone functionality could allow     remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory     consumption). (CVE-2012-0789)

  - a stack-based buffer overflow in the php5 Suhosin     extension could allow remote attackers to execute     arbitrary code via a long string that is used in a     Set-Cookie HTTP header. (CVE-2012-0807)

  - this fixes an incorrect fix for CVE-2011-4885 which     could allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code     via a request containing a large number of variables.
    (CVE-2012-0830)

  - temporary changes to the magic_quotes_gpc directive     during the importing of environment variables is not     properly performed which makes it easier for remote     attackers to conduct SQL injections. (CVE-2012-0831)

Also the following bugs have been fixed :

  - allow uploading files bigger than 2GB for 64bit systems     [bnc#709549]

  - amend README.SUSE to discourage using apache module with     apache2-worker [bnc#728671]

Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in PHP, the web scripting language. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following issues :

  - CVE-2011-1938     The UNIX socket handling allowed attackers to trigger a     buffer overflow via a long path name.

  - CVE-2011-2483     The crypt_blowfish function did not properly handle     8-bit characters, which made it easier for attackers to     determine a cleartext password by using knowledge of a     password hash.

  - CVE-2011-4566     When used on 32 bit platforms, the exif extension could     be used to trigger an integer overflow in the     exif_process_IFD_TAG function when processing a JPEG     file.

  - CVE-2011-4885     It was possible to trigger hash collisions predictably     when parsing form parameters, which allows remote     attackers to cause a denial of service by sending many     crafted parameters.

  - CVE-2012-0057     When applying a crafted XSLT transform, an attacker     could write files to arbitrary places in the filesystem.

NOTE: the fix for CVE-2011-2483 required changing the behaviour of this function: it is now incompatible with some old (wrongly) generated hashes for passwords containing 8-bit characters. See the package NEWS entry for details. This change has not been applied to the Lenny version of PHP.

This flaw has been mitigated by adding a new configuration directive, max_input_vars, that limits the maximum number of parameters processed per request. By default, max_input_vars is set to 1000.
(CVE-2011-4885)

An integer overflow flaw was found in the PHP exif extension. On 32-bit systems, a specially crafted image file could cause the PHP interpreter to crash or disclose portions of its memory when a PHP script tries to extract Exchangeable image file format (Exif) metadata from the image file. (CVE-2011-4566)

Red Hat would like to thank oCERT for reporting CVE-2011-4885. oCERT acknowledges Julian Walde and Alexander Klink as the original reporters of CVE-2011-4885.

All php53 and php users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches to resolve these issues. After installing the updated packages, the httpd daemon must be restarted for the update to take effect.

php development team reports :

Security Enhancements and Fixes in PHP 5.3.9 :

- Added max_input_vars directive to prevent attacks based on hash collisions. (CVE-2011-4885)

- Fixed bug #60150 (Integer overflow during the parsing of invalid exif header). (CVE-2011-4566)

Multiple vulnerabilities has been discovered and corrected in php :

Integer overflow in the exif_process_IFD_TAG function in exif.c in the exif extension in PHP 5.4.0beta2 on 32-bit platforms allows remote attackers to read the contents of arbitrary memory locations or cause a denial of service via a crafted offset_val value in an EXIF header in a JPEG file, a different vulnerability than CVE-2011-0708 (CVE-2011-4566).

PHP before 5.3.9 computes hash values for form parameters without restricting the ability to trigger hash collisions predictably, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) by sending many crafted parameters (CVE-2011-4885).

The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.

Florent Hochwelker discovered that PHP incorrectly handled certain EXIF headers in JPEG files. A remote attacker could exploit this issue to view sensitive information or cause the PHP server to crash.
