Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.54132
Category:SuSE Local Security Checks
Title:SuSE Security Advisory SUSE-SA:2002:036 (mod_php4)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing updates announced in
advisory SUSE-SA:2002:036.

PHP is a well known and widely used web programming language.
If a PHP script runs in safe mode several restrictions are applied
to it including limits on execution of external programs.

An attacker can pass shell meta-characters or sendmail(8) command line
options via the 5th argument (introduced in version 4.0.5) of the mail()
function to execute shell commands or control the behavior of sendmail(8).

The CRLF injection vulnerabilities in fopen(), file(), header(), ...
allow an attacker to bypass ACLs or trigger cross-side scripting.

Solution:
Update your system with the packages as indicated in
the referenced security advisory.
