This update has been rated as having important security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team.
PHP is an HTML-embedded scripting language commonly used with the Apache HTTP Web server.
A number of buffer overflow flaws were found in the PHP session extension; the str_replace() function; and the imap_mail_compose() function. If very long strings were passed to the str_replace() function, an integer overflow could occur in memory allocation. If a script used the imap_mail_compose() function to create a new MIME message based on an input body from an untrusted source, it could result in a heap overflow. An attacker with access to a PHP application affected by any these issues could trigger the flaws and possibly execute arbitrary code as the 'apache' user. (CVE-2007-0906)
When unserializing untrusted data on 64-bit platforms, the zend_hash_init() function could be forced into an infinite loop, consuming CPU resources for a limited time, until the script timeout alarm aborted execution of the script. (CVE-2007-0988)
If the wddx extension was used to import WDDX data from an untrusted source, certain WDDX input packets could expose a random portion of heap memory. (CVE-2007-0908)
If the odbc_result_all() function was used to display data from a database, and the database table contents were under an attacker's control, a format string vulnerability was possible which could allow arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2007-0909)
A one byte memory read always occurs before the beginning of a buffer.
This could be triggered, for example, by any use of the header() function in a script. However it is unlikely that this would have any effect. (CVE-2007-0907)
Several flaws in PHP could allow attackers to 'clobber' certain super-global variables via unspecified vectors. (CVE-2007-0910)
An input validation bug allowed a remote attacker to trigger a denial of service attack by submitting an input variable with a deeply-nested-array. (CVE-2007-1285)
Users of PHP should upgrade to these updated packages which contain backported patches to correct these issues.
