Zend Framework 1 (ZF1) before 1.12.4, Zend Framework 2 before 2.1.6 and 2.2.x before 2.2.6, ZendOpenId, ZendRest, ZendService_AudioScrobbler, ZendService_Nirvanix, ZendService_SlideShare, ZendService_Technorati, and ZendService_WindowsAzure before 2.0.2, ZendService_Amazon before 2.0.3, and ZendService_Api before 1.0.0 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via (1) recursive or (2) circular references in an XML entity definition in an XML DOCTYPE declaration, aka an XML Entity Expansion (XEE) attack. NOTE: this issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2012-6532.

Versions of Zend Framework 1.12.x earlier than 1.12.4, 2.1.x earlier than 2.1.6, or 2.2.x earlier than 2.2.6 are exposed to XEE (XML Entity Expansion) injection flaws  that exist in multiple functions and are triggered during the parsing of XML data via DOCTYPE declarations.  The issue is due to an incorrectly configured XML parser accepting XML external entities from an untrusted source.  By sending specially crafted XML data, a remote attacker can cause a denial of service. 

The previous zendframework upload incorrectly fixes CVE-2015-3154, causing a regression. This update corrects this problem. Thanks to &#x415;&#x432;&#x433;&#x435;&#x43D;&#x438;&#x439;

CVE-2014-4914

Cassiano Dal Pizzol discovered that the implementation of the ORDER BY SQL statement in Zend_Db_Select contains a potential SQL injection when the query string passed contains parentheses.

CVE-2014-8088

Yury Dyachenko at Positive Research Center identified potential XML eXternal Entity injection vectors due to insecure usage of PHP's DOM extension.

CVE-2014-8089

Jonas Sandstr&ouml;m discovered a SQL injection vector when manually quoting value for sqlsrv extension, using null byte.

CVE-2015-3154

Filippo Tessarotto and Maks3w reported potential CRLF injection attacks in mail and HTTP headers.

Updated php-ZendFramework packages fix multiple vulnerabilities :

XML eXternal Entity (XXE) and XML Entity Expansion (XEE) flaws were discovered in the Zend Framework. An attacker could use these flaws to cause a denial of service, access files accessible to the server process, or possibly perform other more advanced XML External Entity (XXE) attacks (CVE-2014-2681, CVE-2014-2682, CVE-2014-2683).

Using the Consumer component of Zend_OpenId, it is possible to login using an arbitrary OpenID account (without knowing any secret information) by using a malicious OpenID Provider. That means OpenID it is possible to login using arbitrary OpenID Identity (MyOpenID, Google, etc), which are not under the control of our own OpenID Provider. Thus, we are able to impersonate any OpenID Identity against the framework (CVE-2014-2684, CVE-2014-2685).

The implementation of the ORDER BY SQL statement in Zend_Db_Select of Zend Framework 1 contains a potential SQL injection when the query string passed contains parentheses (CVE-2014-4914).

Due to a bug in PHP's LDAP extension, when ZendFramework's Zend_ldap class is used for logins, an attacker can login as any user by using a null byte to bypass the empty password check and perform an unauthenticated LDAP bind (CVE-2014-8088).

The sqlsrv PHP extension, which provides the ability to connect to Microsoft SQL Server from PHP, does not provide a built-in quoting mechanism for manually quoting values to pass via SQL queries;
developers are encouraged to use prepared statements. Zend Framework provides quoting mechanisms via Zend_Db_Adapter_Sqlsrv which uses the recommended double single quote ('') as quoting delimiters. SQL Server treats null bytes in a query as a string terminator, allowing an attacker to add arbitrary SQL following a null byte, and thus create a SQL injection (CVE-2014-8089).

The GenericConsumer class in the Consumer component in ZendOpenId before 2.0.2 and the Zend_OpenId_Consumer class in Zend Framework 1 before 1.12.4 violate the OpenID 2.0 protocol by ensuring only that at least one field is signed, which allows remote attackers to bypass authentication by leveraging an assertion from an OpenID provider.

XML eXternal Entity (XXE) and XML Entity Expansion (XEE) flaws were discovered in the Zend Framework. An attacker could use these flaws to cause a denial of service, access files accessible to the server process, or possibly perform other more advanced XML External Entity (XXE) attacks.

Using the Consumer component of ZendOpenId (or Zend_OpenId in ZF1), it is possible to login using an arbitrary OpenID account (without knowing any secret information) by using a malicious OpenID Provider.
That means OpenID it is possible to login using arbitrary OpenID Identity (MyOpenID, Google, etc), which are not under the control of our own OpenID Provider. Thus, we are able to impersonate any OpenID Identity against the framework.

Moreover, the Consumer accepts OpenID tokens with arbitrary signed elements. The framework does not check if, for example, both openid.claimed_id and openid.endpoint_url are signed. It is just sufficient to sign one parameter. According to https://openid.net/specs/openid-authentication-2_0.html#positive_asser tions, at least op_endpoint, return_to, response_nonce, assoc_handle, and, if present in the response, claimed_id and identity, must be signed.
