[ MDVSA-2009:285 ] php

[dude67]

_______________________________________________________________________

Package : php
Date : October 20, 2009
Affected: 2009.0, 2009.1, Corporate 3.0, Corporate 4.0,
Enterprise Server 5.0, Multi Network Firewall 2.0
_______________________________________________________________________

Problem Description:

Multiple vulnerabilities has been found and corrected in php:

The _gdGetColors function in gd_gd.c in PHP 5.2.11 and 5.3.0, and the
GD Graphics Library 2.x, does not properly verify a certain colorsTotal
structure member, which might allow remote attackers to conduct
buffer overflow or buffer over-read attacks via a crafted GD file,
a different vulnerability than CVE-2009-3293. NOTE: some of these
details are obtained from third party information (CVE-2009-3546).

Added two upstream patches to address a bypass vulnerability in
open_basedir and safe_mode.

Additionally on CS4 a regression was found and fixed when using the
gd-bundled.so variant from the php-gd package.

This update fixes these vulnerabilities.
