PHP: Integer overflow

PHP: Integer overflow PHP is vulnerable to an integer overflow potentially allowing the remote execution of arbitrary code. php 2006-10-30 2008-03-29 150261 remote 4.4.4-r6 4.4.6 4.4.7 4.4.8_pre20070816 5.1.6-r6 5.1.6-r6

PHP is a widely-used general-purpose scripting language that is especially suited for Web development and can be embedded into HTML.

A flaw in the PHP memory handling routines allows an unserialize() call to be executed on non-allocated memory due to a previous integer overflow.

An attacker could execute arbitrary code with the rights of the web server user or the user running a vulnerable PHP script.

There is no known workaround at this time.

All PHP 5.x users should upgrade to the latest version:


    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-lang/php-5.1.6-r6"

All PHP 4.x users should upgrade to the latest version:


    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-lang/php-4.4.4-r6"
