Debian DSA-5277-1 : php7.4 - security update

critical Nessus Plugin ID 167434

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing one or more security-related updates.

Description

The remote Debian 11 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dsa-5277 advisory.

 - In PHP versions before 7.4.31, 8.0.24 and 8.1.11, the phar uncompressor code would recursively uncompress quines gzip files, resulting in an infinite loop. (CVE-2022-31628)

 - In PHP versions before 7.4.31, 8.0.24 and 8.1.11, the vulnerability enables network and same-site attackers to set a standard insecure cookie in the victim's browser which is treated as a `__Host-` or `__Secure-` cookie by PHP applications. (CVE-2022-31629)

 - The Keccak XKCP SHA-3 reference implementation before fdc6fef has an integer overflow and resultant buffer overflow that allows attackers to execute arbitrary code or eliminate expected cryptographic properties.
 This occurs in the sponge function interface. (CVE-2022-37454)

 - The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition within the imageloadfont() function. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the web application, trigger an out-of-bounds read error and read contents of memory on the system. (CVE-2022-31630)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade the php7.4 packages.

For the stable distribution (bullseye), these problems have been fixed in version 7.4.33-1+deb11u1.
