Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing one or more security-related patches.

Description

USN-1042-1 fixed vulnerabilities in PHP5. The fix for CVE-2010-3436 introduced a regression in the open_basedir restriction handling code.
This update fixes the problem.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

It was discovered that attackers might be able to bypass open_basedir() restrictions by passing a specially crafted filename.
(CVE-2010-3436).

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
