The strip_tags() function, used to sanitize user input, could in + certain cases allow tags containing \0 characters (CAN-2004-0595). When + memory_limit is used, PHP might unsafely interrupt other functions + (CAN-2004-0594). The ftok and itpc functions were missing safe_mode checks. + It was possible to bypass open_basedir restrictions using MySQL's LOAD DATA + LOCAL function. Furthermore, the IMAP extension was incorrectly allocating + memory and alloca() calls were replaced with emalloc() for better stack + protection. + </p> + </description> + <impact type="high"> + <p> + Successfully exploited, the memory_limit problem could allow remote + excution of arbitrary code.
