CONECTIVA LINUX SECURITY ANNOUNCEMENT
PACKAGE : php4
SUMMARY : Remote arbitrary code execution vulnerabilities and
other
DATE : 2004-07-16 11:56:00
ID : CLA-2004:847
RELEVANT RELEASES : 8, 9, 10
DESCRIPTION
PHP[1] is a very popular scripting language used by web servers to
offer dynamic content.
Stefan Esser noted[2] a vulnerability[3] in php code so that a
remote attacker could force php to hit memory_limit in unsafe
places which would lead to a possible execution of arbitrary
code.
He also found[4] out that the strip_tags() function, often used
as a validator for user input, could allow tags containing the null
char.
This announcement also fixes the misinstalation of the CLI
interface instead of the CGI one. Thanks to Willian Marcelo
Piovezan for the report[5].
SOLUTION
It is recommended that all PHP users upgrade their packages.
IMPORTANT
If PHP is being used as an Apache module, the web server has to be
restarted after the upgrade if it was already running. To do so,
please run, as
root:
# service httpd stop
(wait a few seconds and check with “ps ax|grep httpd” if there
are any httpd
processes running. On a busy webserver this could take a little
longer.)
# service httpd start
