Mandrake Linux Security Advisory : php (MDKSA-2006:196)

high Nessus Plugin ID 24581

Synopsis

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

Description

The Hardened-PHP Project discovered buffer overflows in htmlentities/htmlspecialchars internal routines to the PHP Project.
The purpose of these functions is to be filled with user input. (The overflow can only be when UTF-8 is used) (CVE-2006-5465)

Unspecified vulnerabilities in PHP, probably before 5.2.0, allow local users to bypass open_basedir restrictions and perform unspecified actions via unspecified vectors involving the (1) chdir and (2) tempnam functions. NOTE: the tempnam vector might overlap CVE-2006-1494. (CVE-2006-5706)

Updated packages have been patched to correct these issues. Users must restart Apache for the changes to take effect.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
