    A remote attacker could cause a Denial of Service in various ways,       bypass spam detections, or bypass open_basedir restrictions.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

Updated php packages that fix multiple security issues are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 and 5.

The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having moderate security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores, which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each vulnerability from the CVE links in the References section.

PHP is an HTML-embedded scripting language commonly used with the Apache HTTP Server.

An input validation flaw was discovered in the PHP session serializer.
If a PHP script generated session variable names from untrusted user input, a remote attacker could use this flaw to inject an arbitrary variable into the PHP session. (CVE-2010-3065)

An information leak flaw was discovered in the PHP var_export() function implementation. If some fatal error occurred during the execution of this function (such as the exhaustion of memory or script execution time limit), part of the function's output was sent to the user as script output, possibly leading to the disclosure of sensitive information. (CVE-2010-2531)

A numeric truncation error and an input validation flaw were found in the way the PHP utf8_decode() function decoded partial multi-byte sequences for some multi-byte encodings, sending them to output without them being escaped. An attacker could use these flaws to perform a cross-site scripting attack. (CVE-2009-5016, CVE-2010-3870)

It was discovered that the PHP lcg_value() function used insufficient entropy to seed the pseudo-random number generator. A remote attacker could possibly use this flaw to predict values returned by the function, which are used to generate session identifiers by default.
This update changes the function's implementation to use more entropy during seeding. (CVE-2010-1128)

It was discovered that the PHP fnmatch() function did not restrict the length of the pattern argument. A remote attacker could use this flaw to crash the PHP interpreter where a script used fnmatch() on untrusted matching patterns. (CVE-2010-1917)

A NULL pointer dereference flaw was discovered in the PHP XML-RPC extension. A malicious XML-RPC client or server could use this flaw to crash the PHP interpreter via a specially crafted XML-RPC request.
(CVE-2010-0397)

All php users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches to resolve these issues. After installing the updated packages, the httpd daemon must be restarted for the update to take effect.

PHP was updated to version 5.2.14 to fix several security issues :

(CVE-2010-0397, CVE-2010-1860, CVE-2010-1862, CVE-2010-1864, CVE-2010-1866, CVE-2010-1914, CVE-2010-1915, CVE-2010-1917, CVE-2010-2093, CVE-2010-2094, CVE-2010-2097, CVE-2010-2100, CVE-2010-2101, CVE-2010-2190, CVE-2010-2191, CVE-2010-2225, CVE-2010-2531, CVE-2010-2950, CVE-2010-3062, CVE-2010-3063, CVE-2010-3064, CVE-2010-3065)

According to its banner, the version of PHP 5.2 installed on the remote host is older than 5.2.14.  Such versions may be affected by several security issues :

  - An error exists when processing invalid XML-RPC     requests that can lead to a NULL pointer     dereference. (bug #51288) (CVE-2010-0397)

  - An error exists in the function 'fnmatch' that can lead     to stack exhaustion.

  - An error exists in the sqlite extension that could     allow arbitrary memory access.

  - A memory corruption error exists in the function     'substr_replace'.

  - The following functions are not properly protected     against function interruptions :

    addcslashes, chunk_split, html_entity_decode,     iconv_mime_decode, iconv_substr, iconv_mime_encode,     htmlentities, htmlspecialchars, str_getcsv,     http_build_query, strpbrk, strstr, str_pad,     str_word_count, wordwrap, strtok, setcookie,     strip_tags, trim, ltrim, rtrim, parse_str, pack, unpack,     uasort, preg_match, strrchr, strchr, substr, str_repeat     (CVE-2010-1860, CVE-2010-1862, CVE-2010-1864,     CVE-2010-2097, CVE-2010-2100, CVE-2010-2101,     CVE-2010-2190, CVE-2010-2191, CVE-2010-2484)

  - The following opcodes are not properly protected     against function interruptions :

    ZEND_CONCAT, ZEND_ASSIGN_CONCAT, ZEND_FETCH_RW     (CVE-2010-2191)

  - The default session serializer contains an error     that can be exploited when assigning session     variables having user defined names. Arbitrary     serialized values can be injected into sessions by     including the PS_UNDEF_MARKER, '!', character in     variable names.

  - A use-after-free error exists in the function     'spl_object_storage_attach'. (CVE-2010-2225)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists in the     function 'var_export' when handling certain error     conditions. (CVE-2010-2531)

Several remote vulnerabilities have been discovered in PHP 5, an hypertext preprocessor. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems :

  - CVE-2010-1917     The fnmatch function can be abused to conduct denial of     service attacks (by crashing the interpreter) by the     means of a stack overflow.

  - CVE-2010-2225     The SplObjectStorage unserializer allows attackers to     execute arbitrary code via serialized data by the means     of a use-after-free vulnerability.

  - CVE-2010-3065     The default sessions serializer does not correctly     handle a special marker, which allows an attacker to     inject arbitrary variables into the session and possibly     exploit vulnerabilities in the unserializer.

  - CVE-2010-1128     For this vulnerability (predictable entropy for the     Linear Congruential Generator used to generate session     ids) we do not consider upstream's solution to be     sufficient. It is recommended to uncomment     the'session.entropy_file' and 'session.entropy_length'     settings in the php.ini files. Further improvements can     be achieved by setting'session.hash_function' to 1 (one)     and incrementing the value of'session.entropy_length'.

According to its banner, the version of PHP 5.3 installed on the remote host is older than 5.3.3.  Such versions may be affected by several security issues :

  - An error exists in the function 'shm_put_var' that     is related to resource destruction.

  - An error exists in the function 'fnmatch' that can lead     to stack exhaustion. (CVE-2010-1917)

  - A memory corruption error exists related to call-time     pass by reference and callbacks.

  - The dechunking filter is vulnerable to buffer overflow.

  - An error exists in the sqlite extension that could     allow arbitrary memory access.

  - An error exists in the 'phar' extension related to     string format validation.

  - The functions 'mysqlnd_list_fields' and     'mysqlnd_change_user' are vulnerable to buffer overflow.

  - The Mysqlnd extension is vulnerable to buffer overflow     attack when handling error packets.

  - The following functions are not properly protected     against function interruptions :

    addcslashes, chunk_split, html_entity_decode,     iconv_mime_decode, iconv_substr, iconv_mime_encode,     htmlentities, htmlspecialchars, str_getcsv,     http_build_query, strpbrk, strtr, str_pad,     str_word_count, wordwrap, strtok, setcookie,     strip_tags, trim, ltrim, rtrim, substr_replace,     parse_str, pack, unpack, uasort, preg_match, strrchr     (CVE-2010-1860, CVE-2010-1862, CVE-2010-1864,     CVE-2010-2097, CVE-2010-2100, CVE-2010-2101,     CVE-2010-2190, CVE-2010-2191, CVE-2010-2484)
