php: remotely exploitable memory errors
| Package(s): | php |
CVE #(s): | CAN-2004-0594
|
| Created: | July 14, 2004 |
Updated: | February 7, 2005 |
| Description: |
Stefan Esser has issued an advisory regarding a
remotely exploitable hole in PHP (through version 4.3.7). If the
memory_limit feature is in use (as it should be, to prevent denial
of service attacks), allocation failures can be forced at highly
inopportune times, and those failures can be exploited to execute arbitrary
code. The exploit is described as "quite easy," and it can be done
regardless of whether Apache1 or Apache2 is in use. Upgrading to PHP 4.3.8 fixes the
problem; yesterday's PHP 5.0 release also contains the fix (but the
final release candidate did not). |
