Mandrake Linux Advisory: php

______________________________________________________________________

                Mandrake Linux Security Update Advisory
______________________________________________________________________

Package name:           php
Advisory ID:            MDKSA-2002:059
Date:                   September 10th, 2002
Affected versions:      7.1, 7.2, 8.0, 8.1, Corporate Server 1.0.1
______________________________________________________________________

Problem Description:

 A fifth parameter was added to PHP's mail() function in 4.0.5 that is
 not properly sanitized when the server is running in safe mode.  This
 vulnerability would allow local users and, possibly, remote attackers
 to execute arbitrary commands using shell metacharacters.

 After upgrading to these packages, execute "service httpd restart" as
 root in order to close the hole immediately.

of our FTP server mirrors and upgrade with "rpm -Fvh *.rpm".  A list of
FTP mirrors can be obtained from:

Please verify the update prior to upgrading to ensure the integrity of
the downloaded package.  You can do this with the command:
