Insight
Numerous vulnerabilities were discovered in the PHP scripting language that are corrected with this update. An integer overflow in the substr_compare() function allows context-dependent attackers to read sensitive memory via a large value in the length argument. This only affects PHP5 (CVE-2007-1375). A stack-based buffer overflow in the zip:// URI wrapper in PECL ZIP 1.8.3 and earlier allowes remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long zip:// URL. This only affects Corporate Server 4.0 (CVE-2007-1399). A CRLF injection vulnerability in the FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL filter could allow an attacker to inject arbitrary email headers via a special email address. This only affects Mandriva Linux 2007.1 (CVE-2007-1900). The mcrypt_create_iv() function calls php_rand_r() with an uninitialized seed variable, thus always generating the same initialization vector, which may allow an attacker to decrypt certain data more easily because of the guessable encryption keys (CVE-2007-2727). The soap extension calls php_rand_r() with an uninitialized seec variable, which has unknown impact and attack vectors an issue similar to that affecting mcrypt_create_iv(). This only affects PHP5 (CVE-2007-2728). The substr_count() function allows attackers to obtain sensitive information via unspecified vectors. This only affects PHP5 (CVE-2007-2748). An infinite loop was found in the gd extension that could be used to cause a denial of service if a script were forced to process certain PNG images from untrusted sources (CVE-2007-2756). An integer overflow flaw was found in the chunk_split() function that ould possibly execute arbitrary code as the apache user if a remote attacker was able to pass arbitrary data to the third argument of chunk_split() (CVE-2007-2872). A flaw in the PHP session cookie handling could allow an attacker to create a cross-site cookie insertion attack if a victim followed an untrusted carefully-crafted URL (CVE-2007-3799). Various integer overflow flaws were discovered in the PHP gd extension that could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code as the apache user (CVE-2007-3996). A flaw in the wordwrap() frunction could result in a denial of ervice if a remote attacker was able to pass arbitrary data to the function (CVE-2007-3998). A flaw in the money_format() function could result in an information leak or denial of service if a remote attacker was able to pass ...
