Title:php -- strip_tags cross-site scripting vulnerability
Summary:The remote host is missing an update to the system; as announced in the referenced advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update to the system
as announced in the referenced advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
The following packages are affected:

mod_php4-twig, php4, php4-cgi, php4-cli, php4-dtc, php4-horde, php4-nms,
mod_php4, php5, php5-cgi, php5-cli, mod_php5

CVE-2004-0595
The strip_tags function in PHP 4.x up to 4.3.7, and 5.x up to
5.0.0RC3, does not filter null (\0) characters within tag names when
restricting input to allowed tags, which allows dangerous tags to be
processed by web browsers such as Internet Explorer and Safari, which
ignore null characters and facilitate the exploitation of cross-site
scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities.

Solution:
Update your system with the appropriate patches or
software upgrades.

CVSS Score:
