Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.52076
Category:Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:Ubuntu 4.10 USN-112-1 (php4)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to php4
announced via advisory USN-112-1.

An integer overflow was discovered in the exif_process_IFD_TAG()
function in PHP4's EXIF module. EXIF tags with a specially crafted
Image File Directory (IFD) tag caused a buffer overflow which could
have been exploited to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of
the PHP4 server. (CVE-2005-1042)

The same module also contained a Denial of Service vulnerability. EXIF
headers with a large IFD nesting level caused an unbound recursion
which would eventually overflow the stack and cause the executed
program to crash. (CVE-2005-1043)

In web applications that automatically process EXIF tags of uploaded
images, both vulnerabilities could be exploited remotely.

The following packages are affected:

libapache2-mod-php4
php4-cgi

Solution:
The problem can be corrected by upgrading the affected package to
version 4:4.3.8-3ubuntu7.8. 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.
