Mandrake Linux Security Advisory : php (MDKSA-2002:017)

high Nessus Plugin ID 13925

Synopsis

The remote Mandrake Linux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

Several flaws exist in various versions of PHP in the way it handles multipart/form-data POST requests, which are used for file uploads.
The php_mime_split() function could be used by an attacker to execute arbitrary code on the server. This affects both PHP4 and PHP3. The authors have fixed this in PHP 4.1.2 and provided patches for older versions of PHP.

Solution

Update the affected php, php-common and / or php-devel packages.
