Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.50476
Category:Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:Ubuntu 4.10 USN-40-1 (php4)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to php4
announced via advisory USN-40-1.

Stefan Esser reported several buffer overflows in PHP's variable unserializing
handling. These could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code on the server
with the PHP interpreter's privileges by sending specially crafted input
strings (form data, cookie values, and similar).

Additionally, Ilia Alshanetsky discovered a buffer overflow in the
exif_read_data() function. Attackers could execute arbitrary code on the server
by sending a JPEG image with a very long 'sectionname' value to PHP
applications that support image uploads.

The following packages are affected:

libapache2-mod-php4
php4
php4-cgi

Solution:
The problem can be corrected by upgrading the affected package to
version 4:4.3.8-3ubuntu7.1. After performing a standard system upgrade
you need to reload the PHP module in the webserver by executing

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 reload

to effect the necessary changes.
