Description

This security bulletin contains information about 8 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2007-4586)

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to read and manipulate data.

Multiple buffer overflows in php_iisfunc.dll in the iisfunc extension for PHP 5.2.0 and earlier allow context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code, probably during Unicode conversion, as demonstrated by a long string in the first argument to the iis_getservicestate function, related to the ServiceId argument to the (1) fnStartService, (2) fnGetServiceState, (3) fnStopService, and possibly other functions.


2) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2007-4441)

The vulnerability allows a local user to read and manipulate data.

Buffer overflow in php_win32std.dll in the win32std extension for PHP 5.2.0 and earlier allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long string in the filename argument to the win_browse_file function.


3) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2007-0448)

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code.

The fopen function in PHP 5.2.0 does not properly handle invalid URI handlers, which allows context-dependent attackers to bypass safe_mode restrictions and read arbitrary files via a file path specified with an invalid URI, as demonstrated via the srpath URI.


4) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2007-1889)

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to read and manipulate data.

Integer signedness error in the _zend_mm_alloc_int function in the Zend Memory Manager in PHP 5.2.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a large emalloc request, related to an incorrect signed long cast, as demonstrated via the HTTP SOAP client in PHP, and via a call to msg_receive with the largest positive integer value of maxsize.


5) Deserialization of Untrusted Data (CVE-ID: CVE-2007-1701)

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to read and manipulate data.

PHP 4 before 4.4.5, and PHP 5 before 5.2.1, when register_globals is enabled, allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via deserialization of session data, which overwrites arbitrary global variables, as demonstrated by calling session_decode on a string beginning with "_SESSION|s:39:". Successful exploitation requires that variable "register_globals" is enabled.


6) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2007-1584)

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to read and manipulate data.

Buffer underflow in the header function in PHP 5.2.0 allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code by passing an all-whitespace string to this function, which causes it to write '' characters in whitespace that precedes the string.


7) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2007-1453)

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to read and manipulate data.

Buffer underflow in the PHP_FILTER_TRIM_DEFAULT macro in the filtering extension (ext/filter) in PHP 5.2.0 allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code by calling filter_var with certain modes such as FILTER_VALIDATE_INT, which causes filter to write a null byte in whitespace that precedes the buffer.


8) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2007-1454)

The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data passed via "ext/filter" when certain whitespace characters, which passes one filter but is collapsed into a valid tag, as demonstrated using %0b. A remote attacker can trick the victim to follow a specially crafted link and execute arbitrary HTML and script code in user's browser in context of vulnerable website .

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to steal potentially sensitive information, change appearance of the web page, perform phishing and drive-by-download attacks.
