CVE ID : CVE-2006-4486 CVE-2006-0207 CVE-2007-1864
Several remote vulnerabilities have been discovered in PHP, a
server-side, HTML-embedded scripting language, which may lead to the
execution of arbitrary code. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures
project identifies the following problems:
CVE-2006-0207
Stefan Esser discovered HTTP response splitting vulnerabilities
in the session extension. This only affects Debian 3.1 (Sarge).
CVE-2006-4486
Stefan Esser discovered that an integer overflow in memory allocation
routines allows the bypass of memory limit restrictions. This only
affects Debian 3.1 (Sarge) on 64 bit architectures.
CVE-2007-1864
It was discovered that a buffer overflow in the xmlrpc extension
allows the execution of arbitrary code.
For the oldstable distribution (sarge) these problems have been fixed
in version 4.3.10-22.
For the stable distribution (etch) these problems have been fixed
in version 4.4.4-8+etch4.
The unstable distribution (sid) no longer contains php4.
We recommend that you upgrade your PHP packages. Sarge packages for
hppa, mips and powerpc are not yet available, due to problems on the
build hosts. They will be provided later.
