Title:	Slackware: Security Advisory (SSA:2004-154-02)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'PHP' package(s) announced via the SSA:2004-154-02 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'PHP' package(s) announced via the SSA:2004-154-02 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: New PHP packages are available for Slackware 8.1, 9.0, 9.1, and -current to fix a security issue. These fix a problem in previous Slackware php packages where linking PHP against a static library in an insecure path (under /tmp) could allow a local attacker to place shared libraries at this location causing PHP to crash, or to execute arbitrary code as the PHP user (which is by default, 'nobody'). Thanks to Bryce Nichols for researching and reporting this issue. Here are the details from the Slackware 9.1 ChangeLog: +--------------------------+ Wed Jun 2 11:28:17 PDT 2004 patches/packages/php-4.3.6-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to php-4.3.6. This is compiled with c-client.a in /usr/local/lib/c-client/ to fix a problem in previous php packages where linking against the library in a path under /tmp caused an ELF rpath to this location to be built into the PHP binaries. A local attacker could (by placing shared libraries in this location) either crash PHP or cause arbitrary code to be executed as the PHP user (typically 'nobody'). Thanks to Bryce Nichols for discovering this issue and bringing it to my attention. (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Affected Software/OS: 'PHP' package(s) on Slackware 8.1, Slackware 9.0, Slackware 9.1, Slackware current. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 5.0 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N
