Mandriva Advisories MDKSA-2006:091 : php

 

Updated php packages fix vulnerabilities

May 24th, 2006

 

An integer overflow in the wordwrap() function could allow attackers

 

to execute arbitrary code via certain long arguments that cause a small

 

buffer to be allocated, triggering a heap-based buffer overflow

 

(CVE-2006-1990).

 

 

 

The substr_compare() function in PHP 5.x and 4.4.2 could allow

 

attackers to cause a Denial of Service (memory access violation)

 

via an out-of-bounds offset argument (CVE-2006-1991).

 

 

 

The second vulnerability only affects Mandriva Linux 2006; earlier

 

versions shipped with older versions of PHP that do not contain the

 

substr_compare() function.

 

 

The released versions of Mandriva GNU/Linux affected are:

  • CS3.0
  • MNF2.0
  • 10.2
  • 2006.0
