paul Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 A vulnerability has been found and corrected in php: The htmlspecialchars function in PHP before 5.2.12 does not properly handle (1) overlong UTF-8 sequences, (2) invalid Shift_JIS sequences, and (3) invalid EUC-JP sequences, which allows remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks by placing a crafted byte sequence before a special character (CVE-2009-4142). The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
