Details

Updated PHP packages that fix several 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.

PHP is an HTML-embedded scripting language commonly used with the Apache
HTTP Web server.

This update addresses the following issues:

- 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)

- An input validation bug function may allow a remote attacker to execute
arbitrary code as the "apache" user if a script passes untrusted input data
to the unserialize() function. (CVE-2007-1286)

- A double-free bug in the "session" extension may allow a remote attacker
to execute arbitrary code as the "apache" user, if untrusted input data was
passed to the session_decode() function . (CVE-2007-1711)

Users of PHP should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain
backported patches to correct these issues.
