Insight
Insight
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). The updated packages have been patched to correct these issues. Affected: Corporate 3.0, Corporate 4.0, Multi Network Firewall 2.0
