RHEL 2.1 : php (RHSA-2005:031)
critical Nessus Plugin ID 16222
Synopsis
The remote Red Hat host is missing one or more security updates.Description
Updated php packages that fix various security issues are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1.PHP is an HTML-embedded scripting language commonly used with the Apache HTTP Web server.
A double-free bug was found in the deserialization code of PHP. PHP applications use the unserialize function on untrusted user data, which could allow a remote attacker to gain access to memory or potentially execute arbitrary code. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2004-1019 to this issue.
Flaws were found in the pack and unpack PHP functions. These functions do not normally pass user-supplied data, so they would require a malicious PHP script to be exploited. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2004-1018 to this issue.
A bug was discovered in the initialization of the OpenSSL library, such that the curl extension could not be used to perform HTTP requests over SSL unless the php-imap package was installed.
Users of PHP should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain fixes for these issues.
