Description

This security bulletin contains information about 2 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2003-1303)

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

Buffer overflow in the imap_fetch_overview function in the IMAP functionality (php_imap.c) in PHP before 4.3.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (segmentation fault) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a long e-mail address in a (1) To or (2) From header.


2) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2003-0863)

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to read and manipulate data.

The php_check_safe_mode_include_dir function in fopen_wrappers.c of PHP 4.3.x returns a success value (0) when the safe_mode_include_dir variable is not specified in configuration, which differs from the previous failure value and may allow remote attackers to exploit file include vulnerabilities in PHP applications.
