Insight
Insight
Multiple vulnerabilities was discovered and corrected in php: The dba_replace function in PHP 5.2.6 and 4.x allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (file truncation) via a key with the NULL byte. NOTE: this might only be a vulnerability in limited circumstances in which the attacker can modify or add database entries but does not have permissions to truncate the file (CVE-2008-7068). The php_openssl_apply_verification_policy function in PHP before 5.2.11 does not properly perform certificate validation, which has unknown impact and attack vectors, probably related to an ability to spoof certificates (CVE-2009-3291). Unspecified vulnerability in PHP before 5.2.11 has unknown impact and attack vectors related to missing sanity checks around exif processing. (CVE-2009-3292) Unspecified vulnerability in the imagecolortransparent function in PHP before 5.2.11 has unknown impact and attack vectors related to an incorrect sanity check for the color index. (CVE-2009-3293). However in Mandriva we don't use the bundled libgd source in php per default, there is a unsupported package in contrib named php-gd-bundled that eventually will get updated to pickup these fixes. This update provides a solution to these vulnerabilities. Affected: 2008.1, 2009.0, Enterprise Server 5.0
