Solution
Please Install the Updated Packages.
Insight
The php-pecl-apc packages contain APC (Alternative PHP Cache), the framework for caching and optimization of intermediate PHP code.
A cross-site scripting (XSS) flaw was found in the " apc.php"
script, which
provides a detailed analysis of the internal workings of APC and is shipped as part of the APC extension documentation. A remote attacker could possibly use this flaw to conduct a cross-site scripting attack.
(CVE-2010-3294)
Note: The administrative script is not deployed upon package installation.
It must manually be copied to the web root (the default is "
/var/www/html/"
, for example).
In addition, the php-pecl-apc packages have been upgraded to upstream version 3.1.9, which provides a number of bug fixes and enhancements over the previous version. (BZ#662655)
All users of php-pecl-apc are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix these issues and add these enhancements. If the " apc.php"
script
was previously deployed in the web root, it must manually be re-deployed to replace the vulnerable version to resolve this issue.
Affected
php-pecl-apc on Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server (v. 6), Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation (v. 6)
