MGASA-2013-0264 - Updated php packages fix CVE-2013-4248 and prevent the two gd packages being installed at once Publication date: 30 Aug 2013 URL: http://advisories.mageia.org/MGASA-2013-0264.html Type: security Affected Mageia releases: 2, 3 CVE: CVE-2013-4248 Description: Updated php packages fix security vulnerability: The openssl_x509_parse function in openssl.c in the OpenSSL module in PHP before 5.4.18 and 5.5.x before 5.5.2 does not properly handle a '\0' character in a domain name in the Subject Alternative Name field of an X.509 certificate, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof arbitrary SSL servers via a crafted certificate issued by a legitimate Certification Authority (CVE-2013-4248). Additionally it prevents php-gd and php-gd-bundled packages being installed at the same time, which causes errors.
