aru Posted August 4, 2003 Report Share Posted August 4, 2003 MandrakeSoft Security Advisory MDKSA-2003:082 : php August 4th, 2003 Updated php packages fix vulnerabilities A vulnerability was discovered in the transparent session ID support in PHP4 prior to version 4.3.2. It did not properly escape user- supplied input prior to inserting it in the generated web page. This could be exploited by an attacker to execute embedded scripts within the context of the generated HTML (CAN-2003-0442). As well, two vulnerabilities had not been patched in the PHP packages included with Mandrake Linux 8.2: The mail() function did not filter ASCII control filters from its arguments, which could allow an attacker to modify the mail message content (CAN-2002-0986). Another vulnerability in the mail() function would allow a remote attacker to bypass safe mode restrictions and modify the command line arguments passed to the MTA in the fifth argument (CAN-2002-0985). All users are encouraged to upgrade to these patched packages. The released versions of Mandrake GNU/Linux affected are: 8.2 [*] 9.0 [*] 9.1 [*] Multi Network Firewall 8.2 [*] Corporate Server 2.1 Full information about this advisory, including the updated packages, is available at: www.mandrakesecure.net/en/advisories/advisory.php?name=MDKSA-2003:082 Other references: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?n...e=CAN-2003-0442 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?n...e=CAN-2002-0985 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?n...e=CAN-2002-0986 Posted automatically by aru (mdksec2mub v0.0.6) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
