Red Hat Security Advisory

 

Synopsis: Moderate: php53 security update

Advisory ID: RHSA-2012:1047-01

Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux

Advisory URL: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2012-1047.html

Issue date: 2012-06-27

CVE Names: CVE-2010-2950 CVE-2011-4153 CVE-2012-0057

CVE-2012-0789 CVE-2012-1172 CVE-2012-2143

CVE-2012-2336 CVE-2012-2386

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

 

1. Summary:

 

Updated php53 packages that fix multiple security issues are now available

for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

 

The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having moderate

security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores,

which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each vulnerability

from the CVE links in the References section.

 

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

 

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 Server.

 

It was discovered that the PHP XSL extension did not restrict the file

writing capability of libxslt. A remote attacker could use this flaw to

create or overwrite an arbitrary file that is writable by the user running

PHP, if a PHP script processed untrusted eXtensible Style Sheet Language

Transformations (XSLT) content. (CVE-2012-0057)

 

Note: This update disables file writing by default. A new PHP configuration

directive, "xsl.security_prefs", can be used to enable file writing in

XSLT.

 

A flaw was found in the way PHP validated file names in file upload

requests. A remote attacker could possibly use this flaw to bypass the

sanitization of the uploaded file names, and cause a PHP script to store

the uploaded file in an unexpected directory, by using a directory

traversal attack. (CVE-2012-1172)

 

Multiple integer overflow flaws, leading to heap-based buffer overflows,

were found in the way the PHP phar extension processed certain fields of

tar archive files. A remote attacker could provide a specially-crafted tar

archive file that, when processed by a PHP application using the phar

extension, could cause the application to crash or, potentially, execute

arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running PHP. (CVE-2012-2386)

 

A format string flaw was found in the way the PHP phar extension processed

certain PHAR files. A remote attacker could provide a specially-crafted

PHAR file, which once processed in a PHP application using the phar

extension, could lead to information disclosure and possibly arbitrary code

execution via a crafted phar:// URI. (CVE-2010-2950)

 

A flaw was found in the DES algorithm implementation in the crypt()

password hashing function in PHP. If the password string to be hashed

contained certain characters, the remainder of the string was ignored when

calculating the hash, significantly reducing the password strength.

(CVE-2012-2143)

 

Note: With this update, passwords are no longer truncated when performing

DES hashing. Therefore, new hashes of the affected passwords will not match

stored hashes generated using vulnerable PHP versions, and will need to be

updated.

 

It was discovered that the fix for CVE-2012-1823, released via

RHSA-2012:0547, did not properly filter all php-cgi command line arguments.

A specially-crafted request to a PHP script could cause the PHP interpreter

to execute the script in a loop, or output usage information that triggers

an Internal Server Error. (CVE-2012-2336)

 

A memory leak flaw was found in the PHP strtotime() function call. A remote

attacker could possibly use this flaw to cause excessive memory consumption

by triggering many strtotime() function calls. (CVE-2012-0789)

 

It was found that PHP did not check the zend_strndup() function's return

value in certain cases. A remote attacker could possibly use this flaw to

crash a PHP application. (CVE-2011-4153)

 

Upstream acknowledges Rubin Xu and Joseph Bonneau as the original reporters

of CVE-2012-2143.

 

All php53 users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain

backported patches to resolve these issues. After installing the updated

packages, the httpd daemon must be restarted for the update to take effect.

 

4. Solution:

 

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

relevant to your system have been applied.

 

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

use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at

https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/articles/11258
