+ <p>
+ Several vulnerabilitites were found in PHP:
+ </p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>PHP ships a
+ vulnerable version of the PCRE library which allows for the
+ circumvention of security restrictions or even for remote code
+ execution in case of an application which accepts user-supplied regular
+ expressions (CVE-2008-0674).</li>
+ <li>Multiple crash issues in several
+ PHP functions have been discovered.</li>
+ <li>Ryan Permeh reported that
+ the init_request_info() function in sapi/cgi/cgi_main.c does not
+ properly consider operator precedence when calculating the length of
+ PATH_TRANSLATED (CVE-2008-0599).</li>
+ <li>An off-by-one error in the
+ metaphone() function may lead to memory corruption.</li>
+ <li>Maksymilian Arciemowicz of SecurityReason Research reported an
+ integer overflow, which is triggerable using printf() and related
+ functions (CVE-2008-1384).</li>
+ <li>Andrei Nigmatulin reported a
+ stack-based buffer overflow in the FastCGI SAPI, which has unknown
+ attack vectors (CVE-2008-2050).</li>
+ <li>Stefan Esser reported that PHP
+ does not correctly handle multibyte characters inside the
+ escapeshellcmd() function, which is used to sanitize user input before
+ its usage in shell commands (CVE-2008-2051).</li>
+ <li>Stefan Esser
+ reported that a short-coming in PHP's algorithm of seeding the random
+ number generator might allow for predictible random numbers
+ (CVE-2008-2107, CVE-2008-2108).</li>
+ <li>The IMAP extension in PHP uses
+ obsolete c-client API calls making it vulnerable to buffer overflows as
+ no bounds checking can be done (CVE-2008-2829).</li>
+ <li>Tavis Ormandy
+ reported a heap-based buffer overflow in pcre_compile.c in the PCRE
+ version shipped by PHP when processing user-supplied regular
+ expressions (CVE-2008-2371).</li>
+ <li>CzechSec reported that specially
+ crafted font files can lead to an overflow in the imageloadfont()
+ function in ext/gd/gd.c, which is part of the GD extension
+ (CVE-2008-3658).</li>
+ <li>Maksymilian Arciemowicz of SecurityReason
+ Research reported that a design error in PHP's stream wrappers allows
+ to circumvent safe_mode checks in several filesystem-related PHP
+ functions (CVE-2008-2665, CVE-2008-2666).</li>
+ <li>Laurent Gaffie
+ discovered a buffer overflow in the internal memnstr() function, which
+ is used by the PHP function explode() (CVE-2008-3659).</li>
+ <li>An
+ error in the FastCGI SAPI when processing a request with multiple dots
+ preceding the extension (CVE-2008-3660).</li>
+ </ul>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ These vulnerabilities might allow a remote attacker to execute
+ arbitrary code, to cause a Denial of Service, to circumvent security
+ restrictions, to disclose information, and to manipulate files.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All PHP users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=dev-lang/php-5.2.6-r6"</code>
+ </resolution>
