PHP vulnerabilities

The setlocale function in PHP before 5.2.4 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a long string in the locale parameter. NOTE: this might not be a vulnerability in most web server environments that support multiple threads, unless this issue can be demonstrated for code execution.

The iconv_substr function in PHP 5.2.4 and earlier allows context-dependent attackers to cause (1) a denial of service (application crash) via a long string in the charset parameter, probably also requiring a long string in the str parameter; or (2) a denial of service (temporary application hang) via a long string in the str parameter. NOTE: this might not be a vulnerability in most web server environments that support multiple threads, unless these issues can be demonstrated for code execution.

PHP before 5.2.3 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via (1) a long string in the pattern parameter to the glob function; or (2) a long string in the string parameter to the fnmatch function, accompanied by a pattern parameter value with undefined characteristics, as demonstrated by a "*[1]e" value. NOTE: this might not be a vulnerability in most web server environments that support multiple threads, unless these issues can be demonstrated for code execution.

Unspecified vulnerability in PHP before 5.2.4 has unknown impact and attack vectors, related to an "Improved fix for MOPB-03-2007," probably a variant of CVE-2007-1285.

Directory traversal vulnerability in PHP before 5.2.4 allows attackers to bypass open_basedir restrictions via unspecified vectors involving the glob function.

Buffer overflow in the php_openssl_make_REQ function in PHP before 5.2.4 has unknown impact and attack vectors.

The chunk_split function in string.c in PHP 5.2.3 does not properly calculate the needed buffer size due to precision loss when performing integer arithmetic with floating point numbers, which has unknown attack vectors and impact, possibly resulting in a heap-based buffer overflow. NOTE: this is due to an incomplete fix for CVE-2007-2872.

Unspecified vulnerability in the chunk_split function in PHP before 5.2.4 has unknown impact and attack vectors, related to an incorrect size calculation.

The money_format function in PHP 5 before 5.2.4, and PHP 4 before 4.4.8, permits multiple (1) %i and (2) %n tokens, which has unknown impact and attack vectors, possibly related to a format string vulnerability.

Multiple integer overflows in PHP 4 before 4.4.8, and PHP 5 before 5.2.4, allow remote attackers to obtain sensitive information (memory contents) or cause a denial of service (thread crash) via a large len value to the (1) strspn or (2) strcspn function, which triggers an out-of-bounds read. NOTE: this affects different product versions than CVE-2007-3996.

The session extension in PHP before 5.2.4 might allow local users to bypass open_basedir restrictions via a session file that is a symlink.

The wordwrap function in PHP 4 before 4.4.8, and PHP 5 before 5.2.4, does not properly use the breakcharlen variable, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (divide-by-zero error and application crash, or infinite loop) via certain arguments, as demonstrated by a 'chr(0), 0, ""' argument set.

The (1) MySQL and (2) MySQLi extensions in PHP 4 before 4.4.8, and PHP 5 before 5.2.4, allow remote attackers to bypass safe_mode and open_basedir restrictions via MySQL LOCAL INFILE operations, as demonstrated by a query with LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE.

Multiple integer overflows in libgd in PHP before 5.2.4 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a large (1) srcW or (2) srcH value to the (a) gdImageCopyResized function, or a large (3) sy (height) or (4) sx (width) value to the (b) gdImageCreate or the (c) gdImageCreateTrueColor function.

The perl extension in PHP does not follow safe_mode restrictions, which allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via the Perl eval function. NOTE: this might only be a vulnerability in limited environments.

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.

The Foreign Function Interface (ffi) extension in PHP 5.0.5 does not follow safe_mode restrictions, which allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code by loading an arbitrary DLL and calling a function, as demonstrated by kernel32.dll and the WinExec function. NOTE: this issue does not cross privilege boundaries in most contexts, so perhaps it should not be included in CVE.

Multiple buffer overflows in the php_ntuser component for PHP 5.2.3 allow context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code via long arguments to the (1) ntuser_getuserlist, (2) ntuser_getuserinfo, (3) ntuser_getusergroups, or (4) ntuser_getdomaincontroller functions.

The glob function in PHP 5.2.3 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via an invalid value of the flags parameter, probably related to memory corruption or an invalid read on win32 platforms, and possibly related to lack of initialization for a glob structure.

The session_start function in ext/session in PHP 4.x up to 4.4.7 and 5.x up to 5.2.3 allows remote attackers to insert arbitrary attributes into the session cookie via special characters in a cookie that is obtained from (1) PATH_INFO, (2) the session_id function, and (3) the session_start function, which are not encoded or filtered when the new session cookie is generated, a related issue to CVE-2006-0207.

The com_print_typeinfo function in the bz2 extension in PHP 5.2.3 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service via a long argument.

The (1) session_save_path, (2) ini_set, and (3) error_log functions in PHP 4.4.7 and earlier, and PHP 5 5.2.3 and earlier, when invoked from a .htaccess file, allow remote attackers to bypass safe_mode and open_basedir restrictions and possibly execute arbitrary commands, as demonstrated using (a) php_value, (b) php_flag, and (c) directives in .htaccess.

Multiple buffer overflows in libtidy, as used in the Tidy extension for PHP 5.2.3 and possibly other products, allow context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via (1) a long second argument to the tidy_parse_string function or (2) an unspecified vector to the tidy_repair_string function. NOTE: this might only be an issue in environments where vsnprintf is implemented as a wrapper for vsprintf.

The parse_str function in (1) PHP, (2) Hardened-PHP, and (3) Suhosin, when called without a second parameter, might allow remote attackers to overwrite arbitrary variables by specifying variable names and values in the string to be parsed. NOTE: it is not clear whether this is a design limitation of the function or a bug in PHP, although it is likely to be regarded as a bug in Hardened-PHP and Suhosin.

PHP 5 before 5.2.3 does not enforce the open_basedir or safe_mode restriction in certain cases, which allows context-dependent attackers to determine the existence of arbitrary files by checking if the readfile function returns a string. NOTE: this issue might also involve the realpath function.

Multiple integer overflows in the chunk_split function in PHP 5 before 5.2.3 and PHP 4 before 4.4.8 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or execute arbitrary code via the (1) chunks, (2) srclen, and (3) chunklen arguments.

PHP 4.x and 5.x before 5.2.1, when running on multi-threaded systems, does not ensure thread safety for libc crypt function calls using protection schemes such as a mutex, which creates race conditions that allow remote attackers to overwrite internal program memory and gain system access.

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.

The array_fill function in ext/standard/array.c in PHP 4.4.2 and 5.1.2 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a large num value.

The imap_body function in PHP before 4.4.4 does not implement safemode or open_basedir checks, which allows local users to read arbitrary files or list arbitrary directory contents.

The substr_count function in PHP 5.2.1 and earlier allows context-dependent attackers to obtain sensitive information via unspecified vectors, a different affected function than CVE-2007-1375.

The soap extension in PHP calls php_rand_r with an uninitialized seed variable, which has unknown impact and attack vectors, a related issue to the mcrypt_create_iv issue covered by CVE-2007-2727. Note: The PHP team argue that this is not a valid security issue.

The mcrypt_create_iv function in ext/mcrypt/mcrypt.c in PHP before 4.4.7, 5.2.1, and possibly 5.0.x and other PHP 5 versions, calls php_rand_r with an uninitialized seed variable and therefore always generates the same initialization vector (IV), which might allow context-dependent attackers to decrypt certain data more easily because of the guessable encryption keys.

Buffer overflow in the user_filter_factory_create function in PHP before 5.2.2 has unknown impact and local attack vectors.

Buffer overflow in the make_http_soap_request function in PHP before 5.2.2 has unknown impact and remote attack vectors, possibly related to "/" (slash) characters.

Buffer overflow in the bundled libxmlrpc library in PHP before 4.4.7, and 5.x before 5.2.2, has unknown impact and remote attack vectors.

Directory traversal vulnerability in picture.php in WebSPELL 4.01.02 and earlier, when PHP before 4.3.0 is used, allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via a .. (dot dot) in the id parameter.

CRLF injection vulnerability in the FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL filter in ext/filter in PHP 5.2.0 and 5.2.1 allows context-dependent attackers to inject arbitrary e-mail headers via an e-mail address with a '\n' character, which causes a regular expression to ignore the subsequent part of the address string.

Integer overflow in the msg_receive function in PHP 4 before 4.4.5 and PHP 5 before 5.2.1, on FreeBSD and possibly other platforms, allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via certain maxsize values, as demonstrated by 0xffffffff.

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.

Buffer overflow in the sqlite_decode_binary function in src/encode.c in SQLite 2, as used by PHP 4.x through 5.x and other applications, allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via an empty value of the in parameter. NOTE: some PHP installations use a bundled version of sqlite without this vulnerability. The SQLite developer has argued that this issue could be due to a misuse of the sqlite_decode_binary() API.

Buffer overflow in the sqlite_decode_binary function in the bundled sqlite library in PHP 4 before 4.4.5 and PHP 5 before 5.2.1 allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via an empty value of the in parameter, as demonstrated by calling the sqlite_udf_decode_binary function with a 0x01 character.

Integer overflow in the str_replace function in PHP 4.4.5 and PHP 5.2.1 allows context-dependent attackers to have an unknown impact via a single character search string in conjunction with a single character replacement string, which causes an "off by one overflow."

Integer overflow in the str_replace function in PHP 4 before 4.4.5 and PHP 5 before 5.2.1 allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via a single character search string in conjunction with a long replacement string, which overflows a 32 bit length counter. NOTE: this is probably the same issue as CVE-2007-0906.6.
