Description

This security bulletin contains information about 4 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2006-0208)

Vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform XSS attacks.

The vulnerability is caused by an input validation error in PHP 4.4.1 and 5.1.1, when display_errors and html_errors are on, when processing inputs to PHP applications that are not filtered when they are included in the resulting error message. A remote attacker can trick the victim to follow a specially crafted link and execute arbitrary HTML and script code in victim's browser in security context of vulnerable website.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to steal potentially sensitive information, change appearance of the web page, perform phishing and drive-by-download attacks.


2) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2005-3353)

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to perform service disruption.

The exif_read_data function in the Exif module in PHP before 4.4.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via a malformed JPEG image.


3) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2002-0253)

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to gain access to sensitive information.

PHP, when not configured with the "display_errors = Off" setting in php.ini, allows remote attackers to obtain the physical path for an include file via a trailing slash in a request to a directly accessible PHP program, which modifies the base path, causes the include directive to fail, and produces an error message that contains the path.


4) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2002-0121)

The vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to sensitive information.

PHP 4.0 through 4.1.1 stores session IDs in temporary files whose name contains the session ID, which allows local users to hijack web connections.
