Advisories MDVSA-2011:004: php-phar

[paul]

A vulnerability has been found and corrected in php-phar:

 

Multiple format string vulnerabilities in the phar extension in PHP

5.3 before 5.3.2 allow context-dependent attackers to obtain sensitive

information (memory contents) and possibly execute arbitrary code

via a crafted phar:// URI that is not properly handled by the (1)

phar_stream_flush, (2) phar_wrapper_unlink, (3) phar_parse_url, or

(4) phar_wrapper_open_url functions in ext/phar/stream.c; and the (5)

phar_wrapper_open_dir function in ext/phar/dirstream.c, which triggers

errors in the php_stream_wrapper_log_error function (CVE-2010-2094).

 

The updated packages have been upgraded to the latest version (2.0.0)

and patched to correct this issue.
