Test ID:	1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.51928
Category:	Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:	Ubuntu 4.10 USN-99-2 (php4)
Summary:	Ubuntu 4.10 USN-99-2 (php4)
Description:	The remote host is missing an update to php4 announced via advisory USN-99-2. USN-99-1 fixed a safe mode bypass which allowed malicious PHP scripts to circumvent path restrictions by creating a specially crafted directory whose length exceeded the capacity of the realpath() function (CVE-2004-1064). However, this caused severe regressions, some applications like SquirrelMail and Gallery did not work any more, and the package 'php4-pear' was empty. The current version repairs this. In addition this update fixes a crash of the PHP interpreter if curl_init() was called with a non-string argument. Please note that this is not security relevant since this condition usually cannot be triggered externally. The following packages are affected: libapache2-mod-php4 php4-cgi Solution: The problem can be corrected by upgrading the affected package to version 4:4.3.8-3ubuntu7.6. In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the necessary changes. http://www.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=USN-99-2 Risk factor : Critical
