Debian DLA-1326-1 : php5 security update

critical Nessus Plugin ID 108726

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

Wei Lei and Liu Yang of Nanyang Technological University discovered a stack-based buffer overflow in PHP5 when parsing a malformed HTTP response which can be exploited to cause a denial of service.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 5.4.45-0+deb7u13.

We recommend that you upgrade your php5 packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Upgrade the affected packages.
