Insight
Insight
A vulnerability in PHP allowed context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a certain long string in the glob() or fnmatch() functions (CVE-2007-4782). A vulnerability in the cURL library in PHP allowed context-dependent attackers to bypass safe_mode and open_basedir restrictions and read arbitrary files using a special URL request (CVE-2007-4850). An integer overflow in PHP allowed context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of serivce via a special printf() format parameter (CVE-2008-1384). A stack-based buffer overflow in the FastCGI SAPI in PHP has unknown impact and attack vectors (CVE-2008-2050). Tavis Ormandy of the Google Security Team discovered a heap-based buffer overflow when compiling certain regular expression patterns. This could be used by a malicious attacker by sending a specially crafted regular expression to an application using the PCRE library, resulting in the possible execution of arbitrary code or a denial of service (CVE-2008-2371). PHP in Corporate Server 4.0 is affected by this issue. A buffer overflow in the imageloadfont() function in PHP allowed context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and potentially execute arbitrary code via a crafted font file (CVE-2008-3658). A buffer overflow in the memnstr() function allowed context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and potentially execute arbitrary code via the delimiter argument to the explode() function (CVE-2008-3659). PHP, when used as a FastCGI module, allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a request with multiple dots preceding the extension (CVE-2008-3660). An array index error in the imageRotate() function in PHP allowed context-dependent attackers to read the contents of arbitrary memory locations via a crafted value of the third argument to the function for an indexed image (CVE-2008-5498). The updated packages have been patched to correct these issues. Affected: Corporate 4.0
