Debian DSA-729-1 : php4 - missing input sanitising

medium Nessus Plugin ID 18516

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

An iDEFENSE researcher discovered two problems in the image processing functions of PHP, a server-side, HTML-embedded scripting language, of which one is present in woody as well. When reading a JPEG image, PHP can be tricked into an endless loop due to insufficient input validation.

Solution

Upgrade the php4 packages.

For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 4.1.2-7.woody4.
