php: two vulnerabilities

Package(s):php CVE #(s):CVE-2013-1635 CVE-2013-1643
Created:February 28, 2013 Updated:April 3, 2013
Description:

From the Mandriva advisory:

PHP does not validate the configration directive soap.wsdl_cache_dir before writing SOAP wsdl cache files to the filesystem. Thus an attacker is able to write remote wsdl files to arbitrary locations (CVE-2013-1635).

PHP allows the use of external entities while parsing SOAP wsdl files which allows an attacker to read arbitrary files. If a web application unserializes user-supplied data and tries to execute any method of it, an attacker can send serialized SoapClient object initialized in non-wsdl mode which will make PHP to parse automatically remote XML-document specified in the location option parameter (CVE-2013-1643).
