=====================================================================

 

1. Summary:

Hat Security Response Team.

 

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

 

Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS version 3 - i386, ia64, ppc, s390, s390x, x86_64

Red Hat Desktop version 3 - i386, x86_64

Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES version 3 - i386, ia64, x86_64

Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS version 3 - i386, ia64, x86_64

RHEL Desktop Workstation (v. 5 client) - i386, x86_64

Red Hat Enterprise Linux (v. 5 server) - i386, ia64, ppc, s390x, x86_64

 

3. Description:

 

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

HTTP Web server.

 

It was discovered that the PHP escapeshellcmd() function did not properly

escape multi-byte characters which are not valid in the locale used by the

script. This could allow an attacker to bypass quoting restrictions imposed

by escapeshellcmd() and execute arbitrary commands if the PHP script was

using certain locales. Scripts using the default UTF-8 locale are not

affected by this issue. (CVE-2008-2051)

 

PHP functions htmlentities() and htmlspecialchars() did not properly

recognize partial multi-byte sequences. Certain sequences of bytes could be

passed through these functions without being correctly HTML-escaped.

Depending on the browser being used, an attacker could use this flaw to

conduct cross-site scripting attacks. (CVE-2007-5898)

 

A PHP script which used the transparent session ID configuration option, or

which used the output_add_rewrite_var() function, could leak session

identifiers to external web sites. If a page included an HTML form with an

ACTION attribute referencing a non-local URL, the user's session ID would

be included in the form data passed to that URL. (CVE-2007-5899)

 

It was discovered that PHP fnmatch() function did not restrict the length

of the string argument. An attacker could use this flaw to crash the PHP

interpreter where a script used fnmatch() on untrusted input data.

(CVE-2007-4782)

 

It was discovered that PHP did not properly seed its pseudo-random number

generator used by functions such as rand() and mt_rand(), possibly allowing

an attacker to easily predict the generated pseudo-random values.

(CVE-2008-2107, CVE-2008-2108)

 

Users of PHP should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain

backported patches to correct these issues.
