Red Hat Security Advisory

 

Synopsis: Moderate: php security and bug fix update

Advisory ID: RHSA-2008:0545-01

Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux

Advisory URL: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2008-0545.html

Issue date: 2008-07-16

CVE Names: CVE-2008-2051 CVE-2007-5898 CVE-2007-5899

CVE-2007-4782 CVE-2008-2107 CVE-2008-2108

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

 

1. Summary:

 

Updated php packages that fix several security issues and a bug are now

available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.

 

This update has been rated as having moderate security impact by the Red

Hat Security Response Team.

 

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

 

Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS version 4 - i386, ia64, ppc, s390, s390x, x86_64

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop version 4 - i386, x86_64

Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES version 4 - i386, ia64, x86_64

Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS version 4 - i386, ia64, 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)

 

The 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 the 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)

 

As well, these updated packages fix the following bug:

 

* after 2008-01-01, when using PEAR version 1.3.6 or older, it was not

possible to use the PHP Extension and Application Repository (PEAR) to

upgrade or install packages. In these updated packages, PEAR has been

upgraded to version 1.4.9, which restores support for the current

pear.php.net update server. The following changes were made to the PEAR

packages included in php-pear: Console_Getopt and Archive_Tar are now

included by default, and XML_RPC has been upgraded to version 1.5.0.

 

All php users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which

contain backported patches to resolve these issues.

 

4. Solution:

 

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released

errata relevant to your system have been applied.

 

This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use

the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at
