-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Trustix Secure Linux Security Advisory #2005-0062 Package names: mod_php4, ncftp, php4, sudo Summary: Multiple vulnerabilities Date: 2005-11-04 Affected versions: Trustix Secure Linux 2.2 Trustix Secure Linux 3.0 Trustix Operating System - Enterprise Server 2 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Package description: mod_php4 PHP is an HTML-embedded scripting language. PHP attempts to make it easy for developers to write dynamically generated web pages. PHP also offers built-in database integration for several commercial and non-commercial database management systems, so writing a database-enabled web page with PHP is fairly simple. The most common use of PHP coding is probably as a replacement for CGI scripts. The mod_php module enables the Apache web server to understand and process the embedded PHP language in web pages. ncftp Ncftp is an improved FTP client. Ncftp's improvements include support for command line editing, command histories, recursive gets, automatic anonymous logins and more. php4 PHP is an HTML-embedded scripting language.

The most common use of PHP coding is probably as a replacement for CGI scripts. The mod_php module enables the Apache web server to understand and process the embedded PHP language in web pages. sudo Sudo (superuser do) allows a system administrator to give certain users (or groups of users) the ability to run some (or all) commands as root while logging all commands and arguments. Sudo operates on a per-command basis. It is not a replacement for the shell. Features include: the ability to restrict what commands a user may run on a per-host basis, copious logging of each command (providing a clear audit trail of who did what), a configurable timeout of the sudo command, and the ability to use the same configuration file (sudoers) on many different machines. Problem description: mod_php4 < TSEL 2 > - New upstream and Multiple Security Fixes. - SECURITY Fix: Updated to the latest pcrelib to fix a possible integer overflow vulnerability announced in CVE-2005-2491. - Fixed a Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in phpinfo(). - Fixed multiple safe_mode/open_basedir bypass vulnerabilities in ext/curl and ext/gd. - Fixed a possible $GLOBALS overwrite problem in file upload handling, extract() and import_request_variables(). - Fixed a problem when a request was terminated due to memory_limit constraints during certain parse_str() calls. - Fixed an issue with trailing slashes in allowed basedirs. - Fixed an issue with calling virtual() on Apache 2. ncftp < TSL 2.2 > - New upstream. - Fixed directory traversal vulnerabilities (CVE-2002-1345). php4 < TSL 2.2 > - New upstream and Multiple Security Fixes. - SECURITY Fix: Updated to the latest pcrelib to fix a possible integer overflow vulnerability announced in CVE-2005-2491. - Fixed a Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in phpinfo(). - Fixed multiple safe_mode/open_basedir bypass vulnerabilities in ext/curl and ext/gd. - Fixed a possible $GLOBALS overwrite problem in file upload handling, extract() and import_request_variables(). - Fixed a problem when a request was terminated due to memory_limit constraints during certain parse_str() calls. - Fixed an issue with trailing slashes in allowed basedirs. - Fixed an issue with calling virtual() on Apache 2. sudo < TSL 3.0 > < TSL 2.2 > < TSEL 2 > - SECURITY FIX: Tavis Ormandy has reported a vulnerability in Sudo, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to gain escalated privileges. The vulnerability is caused due to an error within the environment cleaning. This can be exploited by a user with sudo access to a bash script to execute arbitrary commands via the "SHELLOPTS" and "PS4" environment variables The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2005-2959. Action: We recommend that all systems with this package installed be upgraded. Please note that if you do not need the functionality provided by this package, you may want to remove it from your system.
