Package: php4 Severity: grave Tags: security Justification: user security hole
Several security issues are fixed by PHP 4.4.3, including these which are not yet fixed in the Debian package: CVE-2006-3016: Unspecified vulnerability in session.c in PHP before 5.1.3 has unknown impact and attack vectors, related to "certain characters in session names," including special characters that are frequently associated with CRLF injection, SQL injection, and cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities. NOTE: while the nature of the vulnerability is unspecified, it is likely that this is related to a violation of an expectation by PHP applications that the session name is alphanumeric, as implied in the PHP manual for session_name(). CVE-2006-3017: zend_hash.c in PHP before 5.1.3 can cause the internal zend_hash_del function to delete the wrong element, which prevents a variable from being unset even when the PHP unset function is called, which might cause the variable's value to be used in security-relevant operations. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
