Slackware alert SSA:2006-307-01 (php)
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 [slackware-security] php (SSA:2006-307-01) New php packages are available for Slackware 10.2 and 11.0 to fix security issues. More details about this issue may be found in the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) database: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-5465 Here are the details from the Slackware 11.0 ChangeLog: +--------------------------+ extra/php5/php-5.2.0-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to php-5.2.0. This release "includes a large number of new features, bug fixes and security enhancements." In particular, when the UTF-8 charset is selected there are buffer overflows in the htmlspecialchars() and htmlentities() that may be exploited to execute arbitrary code. More details about the vulnerability may be found here: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-5465 Further details about the release can be found in the release announcement: http://www.php.net/releases/5_2_0.php Some syntax has changed since PHP 5.1.x. An upgrading guide may be found at this location: http://www.php.net/UPDATE_5_2.txt This package was placed in /extra rather than /patches to save people from possible surprises with automated upgrade tools, since users of PHP4 and PHP 5.1.x applications may need to make some code changes before things will work again. (* Security fix *) patches/packages/php-4.4.4-i486-4_slack11.0.tgz: Patched the UTF-8 overflow. More details about the vulnerability may be found here: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-5465 (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Where to find the new packages: +-----------------------------+ HINT: Getting slow download speeds from ftp.slackware.com?
