Summary
Red Hat Security Advisory: php security update for Stronghold

Notes

Topic
Updated PHP packages that fix multiple security issues are now available for Stronghold 4.0 for Enterprise Linux. This update has been rated as having important security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team.
Details
PHP is an HTML-embedded scripting language commonly used with the Apache HTTP Web server. The Hardened-PHP Project discovered an overflow in the PHP htmlentities() and htmlspecialchars() routines. If a PHP script used the vulnerable functions to parse UTF-8 data, a remote attacker sending a carefully crafted request could trigger the overflow and potentially execute arbitrary code as the 'apache' user. (CVE-2006-5465) A response-splitting issue was discovered in the PHP session handling. If a remote attacker can force a carefully crafted session identifier to be used, a cross-site-scripting or response-splitting attack could be possible. (CVE-2006-3016) A buffer overflow was discovered found in the PHP sscanf() function. If a script used the sscanf() function with positional arguments in the format string, a remote attacker sending a carefully crafted request could execute arbitrary code as the 'apache' user. (CVE-2006-4020) Users of Stronghold should upgrade to these updated packages which contain backported patches to correct these issues.
