Updated php packages fix multiple security vulnerabilities

Publication date: 05 Sep 2014
Modification date: 05 Sep 2014
Type: security
Affected Mageia releases : 3 , 4
CVE: CVE-2014-3587 , CVE-2014-3597 , CVE-2014-5120

Description

Updated php packages fix security vulnerabilities:

Integer overflow in the cdf_read_property_info function in cdf.c
in file through 5.19, as used in the Fileinfo component in PHP
before 5.4.32 and 5.5.x before 5.5.16, allows remote attackers to
cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted CDF
file. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix
for CVE-2012-1571 (CVE-2014-3587).

Multiple buffer overflows in the php_parserr function in
ext/standard/dns.c in PHP before 5.4.32 and 5.5.x before 5.5.16 allow
remote DNS servers to cause a denial of service (application crash)
or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted DNS record, related
to the dns_get_record function and the dn_expand function. NOTE:
this issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2014-4049
(CVE-2014-3597).

gd_ctx.c in the GD component in PHP 5.4.x before 5.4.32 and 5.5.x
before 5.5.16 does not ensure that pathnames lack \%00 sequences,
which might allow remote attackers to overwrite arbitrary files
via crafted input to an application that calls the (1) imagegd, (2)
imagegd2, (3) imagegif, (4) imagejpeg, (5) imagepng, (6) imagewbmp,
or (7) imagewebp function (CVE-2014-5120).

The php packages have been updated to 5.4.32 for Mageia 3 and 5.5.16 for
Mageia 4, fixing these issues and several other bugs.

Note that the CVE-2014-5120 issue is only relevant for the php-gd-bundled
package in Mageia 3.

Also, php-apc has been rebuilt against the updated php packages.
