Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.57627
Category:Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:Mandrake Security Advisory MDKSA-2006:196 (php)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to php
announced via advisory MDKSA-2006:196.

The Hardened-PHP Project discovered buffer overflows in
htmlentities/htmlspecialchars internal routines to the PHP Project. Of
course the whole purpose of these functions is to be filled with user
input. (The overflow can only be when UTF-8 is used)

In addition, selected patches backported from php cvs that address
other issues that may or may not have security implications have been
applied to this release.

Updated packages have been patched to correct these issues. Users must
restart Apache for the changes to take effect.

Affected: 2006.0, 2007.0, Corporate 3.0, Corporate 4.0,
Multi Network Firewall 2.0


Solution:
To upgrade automatically use MandrakeUpdate or urpmi. The verification
of md5 checksums and GPG signatures is performed automatically for you.
